    About this ebook

    I am a practicing architect of thirty years. I am also a designer, craftsman, student of history and culture as well a person that has overcome a hellish childhood to become happy, joyous, free, and prosperous.

    The same spiritual principles that worked to restore my life will heal a family, village, culture, or nation. Mine is a message delivered from the heart because “what is said from the heart is heard with the heart.” Analogies to decaying buildings and the struggles an individual may face are used to define and clarify the struggles that beset our modern culture. Solutions to our national problems are likewise illustrated through stories of the restoration of buildings and personal lives.

    In the cacophony of public discourse there is little in the way of personal, reasoned and solution-based narratives on the chaotic times we live in. Missing is a calmer voice that speaks beyond politics and rhetoric to present a very personal and substantive message that will engage readers across of all stripes. My experiences circulating a fully edited manuscript has been that readers consistently find the writing very strong and compelling. A surprise result has been a sense of closeness or kinship I now have with those that have read it. This includes people that have a world view different than expressed in the book.
    A compelling and inspiring read interwoven with stories of the life of a practicing architect and traveler.
