Some books begin with an idea.
 
This one began with a burden.
 
For years, I watched conversations about faith, politics, and public life become increasingly shaped by outrage, suspicion, and division. But through Leading Influence, I had experienced something different.
 
I had seen leaders across political lines respond to kindness, prayer, and genuine relationship. I became convinced that there was a better way for people of faith to engage public life—and one another—with hope, humility, and grace.
 
Eventually, those convictions became Towards A Better Canada.
 
Why It Matters
I didn’t write the book to convince people to think like me.
 
I wrote it to invite them into a better conversation.
 
One where faith shapes our posture before it shapes our opinions.
 
One where building bridges matters more than winning arguments.
 
One where hope becomes a way of living, not simply a way of thinking.
 

Read It. Listen. Explore It Together.

Towards A Better Canada was written to be more than a book you read and put back on the shelf. It was designed to start conversations—around kitchen tables, in churches, among friends, and in small groups.
 

Read the Book

Towards A Better Canada: Building Bridges of Faith, Hope and Influence offers a hopeful alternative to both political disengagement and political outrage.
 

It explores what it might look like for people of faith to participate in public life without allowing politics to determine how we see one another.
 

Available in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook.
 

Read It Together

Some of the best conversations around Towards A Better Canada are happening in groups.
 

The Bridge Builder’s Guide is a 10-session companion designed for small groups, churches, leadership teams, and friends who want to explore the ideas in the book together.
 

Each session helps move the conversation from ideas to practice, with questions designed to encourage reflection, honest discussion, and practical application.
 

A facilitator’s guide is included, making it easy for someone to gather a group and lead the conversation.

Bring the Conversation to Your Community

The book has also opened doors for conversations in churches, conferences, leadership gatherings, podcasts, and community events across Canada.
 

I speak about faith, leadership, public life, bridge-building, and what it means to pursue a more hopeful way of living together in a divided age.

Writing the book wasn’t the end of the journey.

In many ways, it was the beginning.

Because I still believe a better future will be built by people who choose to live differently today.
