From Eden’s garden to the New Jerusalem, the Bible tells a story of settlement. God’s people are not only called to go and to follow, but also to dwell, to root, to plant, and to rest. Settling: From Wandering to Dwelling traces this theme across Scripture, history, and personal experience. We begin with Adam and Eve in Eden, Abraham’s tents, Joshua’s rest, and Israel’s exile. We move into the New Testament, where Christ dwells among us and Paul prays for believers to be rooted in love. Alongside biblical study, we look at history: monks who vowed stability, Pilgrims and pioneers ...

From Faith that Endures to Hope that Anchors, from Forgiveness that Frees to Perseverance that Finishes, these marks are both deeply biblical and profoundly ...

“You are the light of the world.” — Jesus (Matthew 5:14) Light is one of Scripture’s most powerful images. It pierces the darkness, warms the heart, and guides the lost.

Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt explores this calling with clarity, warmth, and depth.
