Kurzbeschreibung
Do you have a dream -- something you want to do or to accomplish in your life? That's what this book is about -- one man's dream and the important role it played in his life and that of his family, particularly his oldest son.
A successful Architect, Jon C. Carpenter had a dream to build a very special house, a home for his family. One day, when his son was 13 years old, Jon took him aside and, using straws to demonstrate his concept, he placed them in the sandy soil to show how the house would be constructed, basically a tree house, hung from poles. The house would be built on the wooded shores of a nearby lake. It would blend into and become part of the environment.
This book describes the 17 year process that it took to bring the dream from concept to completion; all the ups and downs, all the highs and lows, and all the adventures in between. It demonstrates the importance of this dream in shaping the lives and values of father and son and the growing relationships of all involved.
Joseph Campbell said: "Follow your bliss." The Field of Dreams said: "Build it here and they will come." Jon C. Carpenter's story is a demonstration of the Truth of this advice. Enjoy this easy to read book. Incorporate the ideas into your life. See what can happen when you dare to dream your dream and bring it to fruition.
