How Firm a Foundation

Build Your Faith on Unshakeable Truth in an Age of Uncertainty

In a world of shifting values and competing worldviews, how can Christians develop a faith that remains steady through life’s storms? How Firm a Foundation provides eight essential truths that form the bedrock of an unshakeable biblical worldview.

Written by Pastor Robert J. Pacienza, this accessible yet profound book unpacks fundamental doctrines that every Christian needs to understand and embrace: from the nature of creation and the sanctity of human life to the sovereignty of God and the deity of Christ. Rather than merely presenting dry theology, Pacienza shows how these truths directly address our deepest questions about meaning, purpose, and hope.

Each chapter builds upon the previous one to construct a comprehensive framework for viewing all of life through the lens of Scripture. Readers will discover:

• Why the biblical doctrine of creation matters for science, culture, and human flourishing
• How to defend the sanctity of human life in an age that devalues it
• What God’s sovereignty means for our daily struggles and future hope
• Why absolute truth is essential and knowable in a relativistic age
• How understanding sin’s reality leads to experiencing grace’s power
• Why Jesus Christ is the only way to God and what that means for our witness
• How Jesus’ deity changes everything about our relationship with God
• Where true meaning and purpose are found in life

With compelling arguments, pastoral wisdom, and practical applications, How Firm a Foundation equips readers to understand, articulate, and live out their faith with conviction. Each chapter includes thought–provoking questions that make it ideal for both individual reflection and group discussion. Whether you’re a new believer seeking to ground your faith or a seasoned Christian wanting to strengthen your theological foundation, this book will help you build your life on truth that cannot be shaken.

Dr. Rob Pacienza's ... potent and succinct presentation of God’s truth will undergird your faith and remind you of just ‘how firm a foundation’ belongs to those who build their worldview on the unmovable bedrock of the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
