Battle for the Soul of Canada:raising up the emerging generation of leaders (2006)
The premise of the book is that our future as Anglicans in North America lies in raising up Timothys, the emerging generation of leaders who can bring the Anglican Church back to greatness.

The award-winning "Battle for the Soul of Canada" received the top prize in a non-fiction category by The Word Guild 2007 Writing Awards http://www.thewordguild.com/newsreleases/index.html .


Both the 'It's a New Day' TV station http://www.newday.org/ (March 23rd) and '100 Huntley Street' (http://www.crossroads.ca/index.html Feb 1st) did interviews about the book.

Included in this book are the stories of nine key pioneers who have shaped our Judeo-Christian heritage, including Sam Shoemaker, AB Simpson, RG Le Tourneau, Dr. E. Stanley Jones, Simon Fraser, David Thompson, George Vancouver, and Alexander Graham Bell.

The story is also told how Canon David Watson and the Rev. Dennis Bennett, author of the bestseller 'Nine O'Clock in the Morning' , opened myself and countless others to freedom in the Holy Spirit.

The 'It's a New Day' TV station http://www.newday.org/ (March 23rd) has recently done an interview about the 'Battle for the Soul of Canada' book.
