I love this book. It makes me see things from angles I have missed before. I hope you will consider making a journal or notebook version.
I read through the book immediately on arrival three weeks ago. Now I am reading it over. There are so many things to consider, ponder, pray over and absorb. So many insights into things I knew from past teaching, reading, spiritual counseling about many of the tenets. Now there is a new light, inspiration, and more into how I approach/have approached my faith and actions in my life so far. The last chapter was very meaningful for me.
Father Mike is a great speaker & writer. I am following him with the Bible in one year, as well as the Catholic Catechism in one year. His enthusiasm is great. I've only read a bit of Unshakeable: Building a life of Hope... but I am excited to keep going as his enthusiasm overflows into his writing.
Thank you Ascension & Father Mike for helping to grow my faith. My prayers are with you

This is a book I keep by my nightstand to read and read again to remind myself who I am in Christ… . Very good to read and apply to your own life. Thank you , Father Mike
This book is amazing. I am not a self help book follower but this one is helping me in so many ways. It really brings to light the life we should be striving to live. It is helping me make some good decisions Thank you Father Mike
Spiritual direction in an easy to read book. By easy to read I mean clear, but it is very deep. I suggest reading a chapter and then sitting with it for a week while the Holy Spirit goes to work on you! Thank you, Father Mike!
Fr. Schmitz has written a very good book about living a virtuous life in a chaotic world. He gives examples of people who are excellent examples to follow.
I haven’t finished the book but I am happy to jump back into it.
Excellent. Bought two so I could share with a friend.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book; written with heartfelt feeling and humor.
It was worth the wait Fr. Mike not only speaks with love and truth but writes the same way. I loved reading the book and I'm sharing it with friends.
I will read anything by Father Schmitz, and this is one of his best!
How could anyone not absolutely love Fr Mike and his work. This book is amazing! Definitely worth reading.
Not exaggerating, the most impactful book I have ever read. Such a wonderful book and message. I read it because of the Bible in a year podcast. What a blessing! Thank you, Father Mike!!
The book is so wonderful and relatable. Thank you Fr Mike for placing virtuous characteristics into a very chaotic world.
I just received the book but I’m looking forward to reading it
Book was very well written and easy to read. I enjoy the format of the book. Too often virtues are not discussed, and this was a great reminder of the importance of having solid virtues..
Fr. Mike never disappoints. His examples through his own life are perfect for getting his message across.
Father Mike never disappoints. This little gem of a book is just another blessing from God thru Father Mike.
Just starting this book but it has all the bells and whistles of a good hearty read. Gives you identifiable message to keep calm but to carry onward. When fighting out your ways to combat the devil, there is hope for us to get the author (Fr. Mike Schmitts) story or way of handling your life by his or Jesus' way forward.
Just finished reading this book. It is so full of Fr. Mike’s love for God.. His words are so inspiring and full of advice on how we can become closer to God.and how we can overcome our weaknesses.
His love for his family also shows through. Thank you Fr. Mike for all you do.
I really appreciate the wisdom Father Mike shares in this book, and the joyful and caring way that he expresses it. This guidance is helping me to grow closer to God.
Father Mike has a very special way of discerning the Word from our Lord. This publication is a great representation of what having Faith is all about. Once again Father Mike hit this one out of the park. Please consider supporting Seeds of Faith. Seeds of Faith is Fr. Mike’s capital campaign to build a Newman Center at the University of Minnesota in Duluth.
Not impressed for the price
Love, love, love this book. I hope to be able to follow Father Mike's guidelines to becoming a better person. His stories are so relatable and I plan to recommend this book to our First Saturday Book Cub at church. Five Stars all the way!
I absolutely love this type of book. How do we build an unshakeable foundation to find strength when we need it. Father Mike relates that answer through story and character traits that we can all develop ... and grow stronger in our faith. As I was reading, I was thinking of at least 10 other people who would love a copy ... and I will get one for each of them for sure. :)
Father Mike always hits a home run when it comes to his books!! This on knocks it out of the ballpark!! Simple, easy, and comprehensible it gives clear insight into living a life of virtue. Five stars are not enough!!
The book was very insightful and easy to read. I can almost hear Fr.Mike as I read it to myself. Such a great story teller. Father Mike is so great at connecting dots throughout the book to really make his point. I hope I am able to follow his advice and work towards a more virtuous life. Thank you for putting this book out and for all that you do
Unshakeable by Fr. Mike is a profoundly inspiring book that speaks directly to the heart. With warmth, clarity, and relatable stories, Fr. Mike reminds us that our foundation in Christ can remain firm no matter the storms we face. Each chapter offers practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement, helping us replace fear and anxiety with trust and peace. It’s not just a book you read; it’s one you carry in your daily walk with God. Truly uplifting and worth rereading.
Can't wait to start reading this.
