Celebrating 150 years of Canada, this beautiful book captures the momentous celebration of the Dominion of Canada. With inspiring accounts of individuals who founded our country upon the Living Word of God, “One Dominion” will take you on a journey through history, uncovering a deeper understanding through Scripture. This is also an exploration of how and why Canada has been transformed into a country of remarkable peace, freedom and prosperity.

Excerpt: One Dominion: Celebrating Canada-Prepared for a Purpose (by (author) Paul Richardson & Bob Beasley; designed by Graf-Martin)
The seed of our blessing is not to be selfishly retained, but to be sown. Canada has been given all these blessings—our freedom and prosperity—but not so that we, alone, can enjoy them. It is critical that we share with the world both our prosperity and freedom as well as that which produced them: the journey and the foundation that made our nation great. Our nation was formed by people who were transformed by the Living Word of God. God then worked through these individuals to transform education, healthcare, legislation and policies. Our great desire is to see this mirrored in nation after nation. It is much more than simply exporting the benefits of being Canadian. It is proclaiming the foundation and the journey that produced this reality. Every single pillar of Canadian society is founded on the truths and principles of the Living Word of God: family, government, healthcare, education, business, arts and entertainment, rights and freedoms, safety and dignity.
