Lives That Teach Character Lessons from the Bible

Wisdom from the Faithful, the Flawed and the Redeemed

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lives That Teach Character Lessons from the Bible is a reflective Bible study exploring how God forms character through real lives—faithful, flawed, and redeemed. Rather than presenting idealized heroes or simple moral lessons, this study invites readers into the honest, often complicated stories of people whose lives continue to teach because they mirror our own struggles with trust, fear, pride, mercy, repentance, and hope.

Drawing from both Scripture and decades of pastoral, hospice, and prison ministry experience, Geoffrey Schmitt walks alongside biblical figures such as Abraham, Daniel, David, Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Paul, showing how character is shaped not by perfection but by God’s patient grace. Each chapter pairs biblical teaching with lived reflection, prayer, poetry, and questions designed for personal reflection or group discussion.

This book is especially suited for readers who want faith that is realistic, compassionate, and deeply rooted in Scripture—faith that can hold together forgiveness and consequence, humility and calling, brokenness and hope.
