Shining Lights

Living for Christ in a Dark World

“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. But what does it mean for us, as ordinary believers, to live as “lights in the world”?

In Shining Lights: Living for Christ in a Dark World, the Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt explores this calling with clarity, warmth, and depth. Drawing on seven key themes from Scripture, he shows how Christians are not only called to reflect the light of Christ but to let that light shine in everyday life — at home, at work, in community, and even in times of hardship.

Blending biblical teaching, personal stories, Kairos prison ministry experiences, and inspiring reflections, this study offers both encouragement and challenge. Each chapter includes Scripture, teaching, reflection, meditation, questions, poetry, and prayer — making it ideal for individual devotion or group study.

You will discover:

• How Christ is the Source of our light.
• Why ordinary holiness shines brighter than we imagine.
• The power of shining together as the church.
• How our light draws others — sometimes instantly, sometimes after decades.
• The hope of shining until the final day, when the Lamb Himself will be our everlasting light.

Whether you are a new believer eager to grow or a seasoned Christian seeking renewal, this book will remind you that even the smallest flame can push back the night.

Let your light shine. The world is watching. And the darkness will never overcome it.
