Towards a Better Canada
by Tim Schindel
Canada needs more bridge-builders.
Towards a Better Canada: Building Bridges of Faith, Hope and Influence offers a hopeful vision for how people of faith can help build a better Canada—not through outrage, fear, or partisanship, but through prayer, faithful presence, and a commitment to the common good.
Drawing on nearly two decades of serving political leaders across Canada, Tim Schindel invites readers behind the headlines to discover a different way of engaging public life. Rather than calling readers to withdraw from public life—or become consumed by it—he encourages them to rediscover the influence of faithful presence, humble leadership, and prayer.
Blending personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical wisdom, Towards a Better Canada equips readers to become bridge-builders in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. Whether you're deeply engaged in public life or simply wondering how your faith can make a meaningful difference, this book offers wisdom, encouragement, and a compelling vision for helping build a better Canada.
This isn't simply a book about faith and politics. It's an invitation to become the kind of person who helps shape the future our nation needs.
Because the future is shaped by the people we become.
