A whole year later

It has been a year since I published the companion Bible study for Battle for the Soul of Canada - called Seeking God's Solution for a Spirit-filled Canada.

Read Donna Dawson's review found on Donna Dawson's website:

"After having had the opportunity to review Reverend Ed Hird’s book Battle for the Soul of Canada, I found myself looking forward to the companion Bible study written by author Janis Cox. Entitled Seeking God’s Solution for a Spirit-filled Canada this study is chock full of mind teasing questions and nuggets of truths gleaned from the scriptures through Reverend Hird’s book.

Ms. Cox presents a thorough and well-ordered study that doesn’t leave the participant feeling overwhelmed or bogged down—something that can happen easily in a Bible study. Nor does she rely solely on Reverend Hird’s opinions but challenges the reader to discover what they think about the issues raised.

Each lesson begins with a scripture reading followed by a suggested reading from Battle for the Soul of Canada. It is then followed by a series of questions, quotes and points to ponder all related to the Reverend’s book and ultimately his Biblical view of Canada.

Ms. Cox doesn’t stop there. She offers a teachers’ guide which helps the study leader search for life examples of the points Reverend Hird is trying to make. And yet, she doesn’t just fill in the blanks making it a cut and paste kind of session. This is a very interactive study and study guide to a very serious and important book—all of which leads straight back to the reviving of Canada’s faith. An excellent study for adult groups eager to become involved in the life of Canada from a Christian viewpoint."
