About the Book
This book is a collection of weekly writings shared with friends and colleagues while musing about the new world unfolding. I hope they provide some food for thought for those who, by no choice of our own, shared this common journey.
— Glenn Robitaille
When it comes to words of wisdom, I often feel like a hungry man at an all-you-can eat junk-food buffet. There's an endless glut of information out there, but so little of it has any real substance--and a lot of it is just plain bad for you. Glenn's essays and observations, on the other hand, remind us that our souls are best nourished by simple and pure ingredients we can cultivate ourselves: patience, compassion, honesty and love.
— Daemon Fairless, author, producer CBC

D. Allan Jenkins - Faith Writer's Gold Seal Award-winning author, The Making of Tibias Ivory
Utilizing his extensive experience in theology and mental health Glenn plots through the multiple enigmas of organized religion and ordinary life. Most importantly, he delves into the mystery of belief that goes beyond its traditional symbols and stories. Using the mechanism of "factual fiction,"In Praise of Uncertaintyhas a sagacity that'll be sure to provoke and more skeptic and believer alike.
G. Elijah Dann - Ph.D., Th.D., adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University
I'm sure this well-written book will help Christian readers reflect on their beliefs and allegiances.

About the Book
Few things are ever as they appear on the surface. For Benjamin St. Croix, life in an all-male maximum security mental health facility is its own society with its own rules. His challenge as a Multifaith Chaplain and psychotherapist is to create cracks in the awareness of individuals often deemed to be without souls and unworthy of forgiveness.
In Bending Light, the reader will be drawn into a conversation about basic human dignity, exploitation and vulnerability. Hanging from the "thin gold chain" of the story is a "massive jewel" that will challenge the reader to rethink long held confidences. The message concerns everybody, especially those who think they know what is best for others.
