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

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.
