Review: 
This is a concise guide for parents of young people who are preparing to be confirmed. Questions and answers about confirmation names, sponsors and service projects are brought up, along with suggestions for family discussion and scripture readings. The seven gifts as well as the twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit are highlighted with explanatory notes for the youth.
Too many colors and font styles make these pamphlets a little too busy and unattractive for this reviewer. I would also like to see a more traditional approach and language. For example, the text defines Modesty in these terms: "When the Spirit of Love fills our lives, we no longer need to impress other people with our power or degrees or connections or wealth."
