Answer 1

Deana Murphy won EEW's 2010 Best Book of the Year Award for her book, Designing for the King. Here's the article in EEW Magazine Online:

Winning EEW Magazine's Best Book of the Year Award is no easy feat and the honor isn't given away frivolously. Any book that is chosen must meet high standards. The published work must be well-written and designed, informative, thought-provoking & life-enriching to its readers. Not only that, but the author must exhibit qualities consistent with Godly character and integrity.

With this criteria in mind, EEW's Search and Review Committee went through hundreds of book entries.

And while many of the newly published works were fantastic reads, there was something special about author, Deana Murphy's Book, Designing for the King: From Chaos to Order by Designing Within (Tate Publishing).

"I had never heard of anyone else demonstrating how Christians can incorporate their faith into elements of home design, in order to make their living space peaceful, stress-free and reflective

of the glory of God," says Dianna Hobbs, EEW's Founder and Editor In Chief. "Once I began reading the book, I couldn't put it down and ever since, my perspective on interior design has totally changed."

Designing for the King is a captivating read, taking you step-by-step through Deana's holistic design process. It deals with both natural and spiritual elements of design, and teaches the reader the importance of creating order in the home, first spiritually and then naturally.

Deana says in her book, that we are "designed and equipped to operate our lives and homes far removed from chaos while consistently experiencing the peace and joy order brings, and the maintenance manual for our upkeep is the Holy Bible."

EEW Magazine highly recommends it for anyone seeking to bring increased order, beauty and peace into their homes in 2010. Since God is a God of order, it follows then, that an orderly and beautiful home reflects His nature and brings glory to Him.
