Hi! Welcome to ChristianRoots Canada

Progress on The Crazy Idea Here's what the redesigned book cover for Our Biblical Legacy on Parliament Hill will look like, so purchasers won't confuse the free books with what's on the website. These are printed only for the National Day of Prayer. Did you notice the ad spaces too? Businesses that donate $250 can place a full-colour ad in one of those spaces. Businesses that donate $100 can place a black-and-white ad on the inside back cover for approximately the same size ad. Donations to...

Happy Mother's Day John A. Pearson included many images, representing both human and spiritual attributes, in the Peace Tower. For example, he included Natives and women in specific roles. He represented Natives as protectors and women as nurturers. The women are portrayed surrounded by children. The picture at the top left comes from the East Stained Glass Window of the Peace Tower. In both panels of that picture, the architect, John A. Pearson describes the scene as this: 'a man holding...

How Canada Began From now until July 1st, Dominion Day, I will be showing you snippets of our constitution - The BNA Act. You can read it yourself here. Many Canadians, old and new, do not know how our nation began. There was no Manitoba, or Saskatchewan, or Alberta. Our country consisted of settlements along the St. Lawrence River and around four of the five Great Lakes. The British Act that created Canada was called the British North American Act. That is because British North America...

This was the age range of some...

Good Friday This Easter, before I chronicle some amazing experiences that I could not orchestrate, I encourage you to remember Christ's great sacrifice on the cross, his death, and resurrection from the grave. This Christian heritage is shouted from the South Stained Glass Window of the Peace Tower. In that window, there are 4 images in the first row. They represent: Michael the Archangel, St. George, Justice, and Joan of Arc. The image of Justice demonstrates God's love for us and the...

Therefore I Have Hope Lamenting Before God (Lamentations 3) Have you ever lamented to God? I have. 2025 was a year of lamenting for me. I spent my days in bed with constant pain and suffering. I pray a lot during such times and recite Scripture verses that give me hope. I remind myself that 'hope does not disappoint' (Romans 5:5). One day, during that time, I was looking up a Scripture passage for a friend who told me that I had quoted it to her. I could not remember which Scripture verse I...
