A Christian without a biblical worldview is like a sailboat on tempestuous waters, foolheartedly dashing into waves with wide-open hatches. Too many Christians are in peril and don’t even know it. Don’t be a double-minded man and easy prey for the world, the flesh, and the devil. Read this book, meditate on the eight truths Pastor Pacienza presents, and build your faith on a firm foundation.

In our world of shifting sand, the ancient question of Psalm 11:3 comes to mind: ‘If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?’ Dr. Rob Pacienza offers the eternal answers of Scripture to this existential question. His 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.

Rob Pacienza’s How Firm a Foundation is bold, urgent, and pastoral. In a world where shifting cultural tides threaten to erode biblical convictions, he provides a much-needed anchor for the soul and issues a clarion call for Christians to stand unwaveringly on the infallible Word of God. With clarity, depth and wisdom, Pacienza unpacks eight essential truths that fortify believers against the storms of relativism, secularism, and moral confusion. This book is a roadmap for living with courageous faith in an age of compromise.

Research shows that only a small percent of Christians have a biblical worldview—holding beliefs consistent with what the Bible teaches. If every self-identified Christian understood and believed the foundational truths contained in this book, it would completely transform the church. This is a clear, concise, and accessible guide to the indispensable truths every Christian should know. I wish I could put it in the hands of every believer today.

This readable book helps develop the structure of a Christian worldview so necessary to live faithfully in a shifting culture. Jesus ended His Sermon on the Mount with a story about two men, one building a life on the sand the other on a rock. Foundations matter. Read this book to strengthen your own faith and then share it with a friend.

We live in unusually tumultuous times, where changing currents seem to be moving faster than we can catch them. Believers and unbelievers alike often find themselves scrambling for purpose, meaning, and security amidst the ever-shifting sand beneath their feet. In this very readable book, Robert Pacienza provides an introduction to some of the key Christian ideas which offer the firm foundation many seek, including creation, the sanctity and meaning of life, sin, truth, and the divinity of Christ. Whilst these may seem like “ordinary” ideas to most Christians, Pacienza helpfully pitches them against some of the ideologies and social issues which cause so much of the confusion and despair in our time, offering prophetic, pastoral, and practical exhortations for Christians to speak truth boldly where it is most obscured, to take action where necessary, and an encouragement for sceptical unbelievers to look deeper at the claims. How Firm A Foundation offers sound, biblical encouragement thoughtfully applied to everyday life, helping to guide the discouraged, the sceptical, and the wave-beaten alike back to the eternally secure rock of Christ and His Word.
