Tested and True

Faith Refined in the Fire

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Tested and True: Faith Refined in the Fire explores the sacred mystery of how God transforms adversity into maturity, sorrow into compassion, and trials into testimony.

Through Scripture, story, poetry, and prayer, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey W. Schmitt leads readers through the seven forges of faith — suffering, temptation, opposition, waiting, loss, conscience, and relationship — showing that every test carries the potential for grace.

Drawing from nearly five decades of ordained ministry, prison outreach, and personal reflection, Schmitt offers honest insight into how the fires of life refine rather than destroy. His message is simple and profound: the same God who walks with us in the fire also brings us safely through it, leaving a glow that bears witness to His love.

Each chapter includes meditations, reflection questions, a poem, and a “Smithy’s Forge” practice for daily growth.

It is a book for anyone who has ever cried, prayed, waited, or wondered — and still chooses to believe.
