Living in Freedom: From Guilt and Anger to Peace and Life

Living in Freedom: Trading Chains for Grace
From Guilt and Anger to Peace and Life
Guilt crushes, anger consumes, envy blinds, and bondage enslaves. But grace does not just pardon—it frees. In this second volume of The Great Exchange Series, Joshua Schmidt leads readers into the liberating power of Christ who trades chains for freedom and death for life.
Through vivid contrasts and urgent truth, this book forces you to see the balance sheet of your soul. On one side are the illusions of sin—guilt disguised as penance, anger excused as strength, envy dressed up as ambition, bondage accepted as normal. On the other side are the eternal assets bought by Christ—freedom, peace, contentment, deliverance, strength, and life everlasting.

• Step into the raw contrasts between guilt’s torment and freedom’s joy.
• Confront the fire of anger and experience the peace of Christ.
• See how envy blinds but grace restores contentment.
• Discover the Deliverer who shatters bondage and breathes resurrection life.

This is not a book of theory. It is a confrontation at the cross, where Christ nails the false equity of sin and offers the transfer of true freedom. You cannot stay in the middle. One thief mocked and clung to his chains. The other surrendered and received eternal life. That choice is still yours.
Living in Freedom will awaken you to the truth that grace is not passive—it is power. And once you see the great exchange, you will never settle for chains again.
