Heritage of Hope

Families in God’s Redemptive Plan

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the first parents in Eden to the wedding feast of the Lamb, the Bible is a story of families — broken, blessed, wandering, redeemed. In Heritage of Hope: Families in God’s Redemptive Plan, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt traces the family thread that runs through Scripture and into our lives today.

Through Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, David, Mary and Joseph, and finally the church itself, we discover that God works not through perfect households, but through ordinary people who trust Him in the midst of struggle. Along the way, Dr. Schmitt shares his own family journey — stories of loss, adoption, reconciliation, and blessing — as modern echoes of the biblical narrative.

Each chapter offers:

• Scripture and teaching to anchor the story
• Meditations and reflections to connect with real life
• Poems, prayers, and questions to guide devotion or group study
• Sidebars highlighting genealogies, insights, and modern parallels

In a time when the nuclear family is fragile and many feel disconnected, this book reminds us that God’s household is bigger and stronger than we imagine. Our families, no matter how small or imperfect, are part of His great redemptive story — a heritage of hope that stretches from Genesis to Revelation.

Whether you are reading alone, with family, or in a study group, Heritage of Hope will encourage you to see your place in God’s eternal household and inspire you to pass the blessing on to the next generation.
