Walking Alone in Community

The Paradox of Faith

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Walking Alone in Community: The Paradox of Faith explores one of the quiet tensions at the heart of the Christian life: faith is deeply personal, yet never meant to be lived in isolation.

Drawing from Scripture, prison ministry, hospice chaplaincy, aging, suffering, and decades of pastoral walking, Geoffrey Schmitt guides readers along roads where solitude and companionship meet. From the Emmaus road to prison walls, from Communion to grief, from listening to responsibility, this book names what many feel but rarely articulate: some stretches of faith must be walked alone — and yet none are walked without God.

Written with honesty, gentleness, and lived wisdom, this book invites readers to stop forcing faith into false simplicity and instead learn how to live faithfully within the paradox itself.

For individuals, small groups, and ministry settings, Walking Alone in Community offers companionship for the road — especially for those who walk quietly and wonder if they are alone.
