Christianity as Foundation

How Faith Forms a Mature, Healthy Life in a Fractured World

In a world marked by anxiety, division, exhaustion, and uncertainty, many people sense that something essential is missing beneath the surface of modern life. Techniques abound, opinions multiply, and information overflows — yet stability, meaning, and wholeness remain elusive.

Christianity as Foundation explores the Christian faith not as an ideology to defend or a system to manage, but as a grounding reality — a foundation capable of forming mature, healthy lives in a fractured world.

Drawing from decades of ministry experience in parish life, prison ministry, hospice care, and personal seasons of loss and renewal, Geoffrey Schmitt (Willingheart) invites readers to look beneath appearances and attend to what truly holds when life presses hard. Through Scripture, reflection, lived stories, poetry, and prayer, the book traces how faith shapes the whole person — mind, body, emotions, relationships, and hope itself.

This is not a book about escaping suffering, but about enduring it without collapse. Not about naïve optimism, but about hope that has been tested and refined. Not about perfection, but about faithfulness over time.

Written with honesty, humility, and quiet strength, Christianity as Foundation offers readers a place to stand — and the invitation to build a life that lasts.
