Forged: Becoming a Man of God in the Fire of Scripture

A Journey into Biblical Manhood, Identity, and Strength with Christ at the Center

What does it mean to be a man of God in a world full of confusion?

Forged is a call to strength—not the loud, aggressive kind the world celebrates, but the steady, faithful strength shaped in the fire of Scripture and grace. Through the lives of ten biblical men—Adam, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Job, Jesus, and others—pastor and prison chaplain Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers into a journey of transformation.

Each chapter explores a different facet of biblical manhood: responsibility, faith, integrity, courage, vulnerability, endurance, sacrificial love, fatherhood, and spiritual readiness. With honest reflection, practical wisdom, and deep compassion, Forged offers a roadmap for men seeking to follow Christ in real life.

Whether you’re a young man finding your way, a husband or father navigating family life, or a seasoned believer mentoring others, this book will challenge and encourage you to become the man God created you to be.

Includes:

• Scripture-based teaching
• Personal stories and spiritual insights
• Reflection questions and prayers for each chapter
• A study guide and leader’s guide for group use

Forged is not about perfection. It’s about purpose. It’s for men willing to step into the fire—and be shaped by the hand of God.
