Mark Buchanan — Author of... Hidden In Plain Sight
If Canada has a God author we can be proud of, it's Mark Buchanan. Mark lives on Vancouver Island, with his wife and their three children. He's a pastor and the author of four other books, The Rest of God, Your God is Too Safe, Things Unseen, and The Holy Wild.
Concisely put. of all the Religions in the world today, why are you a Christian? Of all the religious leaders to follow, why not pick some other more politically correct leader? And how many have to be honest and acknowledge that maybe you follow Jesus primarily because you live in Canada or because you grew up going to church? And if you don't actually buy into the fact that Jesus is who he said he was, why not?
Talkback, etc.
Chocolate Jesus — is this going too far?
A Montreal-born sculptor says he has received thousands of offers to display or buy My Sweet Lord, his life-size, chocolate statue of Jesus whose exhibition was cancelled due to Catholic protests. A New York gallery last week decided not to exhibit the chocolate Jesus in a crucifixion pose after boycotts, death threats and objections that it was sacrilegious. The Catholics objected to the nudity, to the casting of the statue in chocolate and to the display of the work during Holy Week, the week before Easter.
Do you agree with the Judge allowing a primary school student to hand out Jesus literature at school or should the distribution of all religious material be banned from secular schools?
Michaela was in 3rd-grade and was told on numerous occasions she couldn't hand out religious pamphlets. School officials say they denied the pamphlets because they didn't want parents to think the district was bias towards any religion. Michaela is currently being home schooled, a decision made by her family.

DREW WHO? Since 2003, Drew Marshall has talked to everyone about whatever it is they believe, in a very light-hearted manner and with absolutely zero agenda, aside from a genuine personal curiosity to understand “belief”. Drew was adopted, grew up in a funeral home, survived a teenage suicide attempt, dropped out of school in Grade 9, ran away to California to be a wrangler, played semi-pro football with NFL/CFL tryouts, drove around North America volunteering for charities, tried to be a firefighter & a rodeo cowboy, was a stay at home dad, has worked a little in film and TV, became a Pastor in Australia and studied stand-up comedy & improv at Second City Toronto. These days he’s a hospital chaplain and hosts Canada’s most listened to spiritual talk show. He’s interviewed hundreds of celebrities & cultural icons about their beliefs or lack thereof. Struggling with his own faith, Drew sacrificed his eyesight for the last week of Lent, paid non-believers to go to church, drank with witches, celebrated with Wiccans, visited with Satanists, walked 1000 KM’s on the Camino de Santiago, then spent time writing in a monastery on an island off the coast of the Western Sahara during a three month vow of silence. Basically, he’s “Red Letter”, wandering, autodidactic iconoclast with agnostic tendencies and a microphone - a skeptical believer on an irreverent search for the sacred!
*Should you wish to reach out to Drew directly, please use the contact page. It might take a while for him to respond though, as he now lives on a farm and is no longer addicted to technology. (Which is a good thing as he's trying to write a stupid book and gets distracted easi - SQUIRREL!)
CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS
