You probably know he's had a successful music career, but you may not know about the unusual way it began.

Andrew Peterson has not only built an incredible career as a singer, songwriter and author, but he's also cultivated an entire community of writers, artists and deep-thinkers through the Rabbit Room forum. I'm HUGE fan of his new book, Adorning the Dark, and I'm of the opinion that it should be required reading for anyone pursuing a career in the arts.
