Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson of Drake/Anderson delight in creating imaginative rooms that emphasise the precious alongside the everyday. This book documents the firm s fearless, eclectic, and deeply informed modernist sensibility in thirteen remarkable residences. The two expand on their point of view in a series of themed essays that illuminate the hallmarks of their bold style: Confident, Sexy, Witty, and Precious. The projects span the world from London to Arizona and New York State (Long Island and Columbia County), in addition to the firm s Manhattan work (uptown, midtown, and downtown, East Side and West). For an international couple s pied-a-ciel on Billionaire s Row, the pair devised a platinum-and-pearl backdrop for spaces filled with a provocative potpourri of materials wood, lacquer, stone, gypsum, glass, velvet, leather, mirror, and bronze. With a sensitive roof-to-slab renovation of a glass house in upstate New York, the two refashioned a private oasis where contemporary pieces, many with references to nature, mix with custom items of the firm s design and an occasional element of midcentury modern. In a full-floor Upper East Side residence in a twenty-first-century building, they wove decorative threads of jewel tones, linear and curved forms, metals, lacquers, stones, sensuous fabrics, and works of art into an extremely glamorous yet family-friendly narrative. With a full renovation of a 1910 estate on Long Island, the duo brought a Georgian brick manse fully into the world of today by amalgamating the fine antiques the owners passionately love with modern and contemporary art. The work of Drake/Anderson harkens to the finest decorators of yesterday, while being firmly focused on the design sensibilities of today and the future.

"Tales of the Long Road" is a series of children's and young adult books by author/illustrator Caleb Anderson. It is set in a mystical world of animal knights, kings, and kingdoms. "The Sweet Song of Sir Edward" is the first in a series that follows the noble knights of the King Beyond the River as they set out on quests, rescue the captive, and defend the righteous. Infused with biblical principles and practical lessons, "Tales of the Long Road" is a joy for both children and adults to experience. Caleb Anderson is a local minister at God's Place Church, Wichita, Ks USA.

Self-discovery is a lonely thing- full of treasures hidden in the shadows.

Yet it is also a glorious thing. For how can I be what God made me to be if I do not know what that is? Today we let other things define us. We have television, social media, and science. I suppose our society finds a bizarre comfort in them. But for us that seek after God's own heart, they are not enough and we are always looking for the gems in the filth.

I cannot tell you all you are in a mere ten thousand words but I can show you a glimmer, just a flash of who God made you to be. And in that moment of light all of eternity may be open up to you and you will finally know that you are not a mistake, only mistaken .

This work is the destination of a long journey of discovery. It is not for the faint of heart or the busy body too wrapped up in life to see the unseen. It is not a work that will be backed up in a scientific journal or agreed upon by many pastors. This, however, does not make it any less true. For those that desire the sweet aroma of God's truth, come and see what He has revealed.

What if His answer is not what you think it is? How many personality tests are you going to take? How many books are you going to read? How many therapy sessions do you need? Do you want to know, or are you ok with being blind? When will you wake up? When will you see that all the world's knowledge will fall short in defining you? You are a product of God And He has some things to say about His masterpieces. So listen, or don't. Either way. But no matter what you choose to do- know this. God made you by pulling a piece of his infinite self and putting it in you so you could share it with us. You are a part of God's nature, and when you hide it behind layers of tradition and foolishness, you rob the church of what God gave to us.
