Seven Shadows

Confronting the Roots of Sin with the Light of Christ

Seven Shadows by Geoffrey Schmitt
Sin is more than wrongdoing—it’s a distortion of the soul’s deepest longings. In this honest and grace-filled guide, pastor and spiritual teacher Geoffrey Schmitt leads readers on a journey through the seven deadly sins—not to condemn, but to heal.

Each chapter explores a different shadow: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Drawing on Scripture, personal reflection, church tradition, and decades of pastoral experience, Schmitt invites readers to confront these ancient struggles with courage and compassion. Alongside every shadow, he reveals the virtue that leads us back into the light.

Perfect for personal study or small group discussion, Seven Shadows includes meditations, reflective questions, poems, and prayers that foster self-examination and spiritual renewal. It’s not a book about being better—it’s a book about becoming whole.

Whether you’re a longtime believer or new to the journey, Seven Shadows offers a hopeful path: from vice to virtue, from shame to freedom, from darkness to the light of Christ.
