Writing from the perspective of a student of life, history, law, politics, and theology, Don Hutchinson draws on all of these areas in Under Siege to offer perceptive insight into the Christian Church of today’s Canada. The reader will receive the benefit of his thirty years of church leadership, Christian witness, constitutional law, and public policy experience to gain a practical understanding of how we, the Church, may cast the deciding votes on the future of Christianity in our constitutionally guaranteed “free and democratic society.”How did we get here? What happened to “Christian” Canada? Do we not have Charter rights like everyone else? What does the Bible say?Many Christians sense that an advancing secularism is trying to force upon Canadians a culture in which faith is meant to be private. Hutchinson presents historic, legal, and theological grounds for us not to hide our faith in stained-glass closets, but instead to enter Canada’s contested public space with confidence. Together as individual Christians, congregations, denominations, and para-congregational ministries, we are the Church in Canada. And together we have the capacity to impact the nation for God’s good, the good of our neighbours, and the good of ourselves. Will we?

This book contains the complete text of "If Winter Comes" by Arthur Stuart-Menteth Hutchinson, more popularly known as A.S.M Hutchinson. This novel, while not critically acclaimed, was very popular with the masses and was the best-selling book for all of 1922. It was subsequently made into two movies, a silent version and another version with sound during the forties, updated for that time period. Set in Southern England at the turn of the last century, the book is a work of Social Realism. It was, in many aspects, ahead of its time, dealing with an unhappy marriage, divorce, and suicide. It is the story of Mark Sabre and his descent into a series of disasters. Other interesting characters do present themselves, but all exist only to fill out the main story. Through all the bleakness and despair, hope always remains, as demonstrated by the quotation alluded to in the title, "If Winter Comes, can Spring be far behind?"
