Book Description
The debate in many Reformed circles over worship music is only a small part of the larger question of Reformed liturgics. And dancing. All sides admit that the New Testament offers relatively little instruction on liturgy, and so the debate over the regulative principle continues with apparently little hope for resolution. In this study, Peter Leithart's key insight reveals a prominent scriptural example of a liturgy that interprets God's commands for worship in ways far more biblically grounded than traditional regulativism allows. King David's tabernacle worship becomes a rich story, not only in respect to liturgical wisdom, but also to the significance of Zion in the fulfillments of the Christian era.

Award-winning writer Melanie Rae Thon's Silence & Song is a diptych, two lyric fictions hinged by a short prose poem. Inspired and informed by biology, physics, music, history, intimate violence, and miraculous resilience, the three pieces move from mourning to song.

Book Description
Musings on joy and suffering, midlife and meaning, by a National Book Award–nominated poet and essayist praised for his “fine ear” (Publishers Weekly). Midway through the journey of his life, Dan Beachy-Quick found himself without a path, unsure how to live well. Of Silence and Song follows him on his resulting classical search for meaning in the world and in his particular, quiet life. In essays, fragments, marginalia, images, travel writing, and poetry, Beachy-Quick traces his relationships and identities. As father and husband. As teacher and student. As citizen and scholar. And as poet and reader, wondering at the potential and limits of literature. Of Silence and Song finds its inferno—and its paradise—in moments both historically vast and nakedly intimate. Hell: disappearing bees, James Eagan Holmes, Columbine, and the persistent, unforgivable crime of slavery. And redemption: in the art of Marcel Duchamp, the pressed flowers in Emily Dickinson’s Bible, and long walks with his youngest daughter. Curious, earnest, and masterful, Of Silence and Song is an unforgettable exploration of the human soul. Praise for the writing of Dan Beachy-Quick: “Intelligent, compassionate, exquisite . . . a unique voice.” —Cole Swensen “Rich, profound, fascinating.” —Los Angeles Times

Book Description
The Song in the Silence is the story of overcoming atrocities through the grace of God. The Song is the Son of God and his compassion as He carries us through the fiery turmoil of our lives, giving us shalom. Ancient musical instruments are used as the medium of telling the story in this book. They evoke powerful emotions each a synchronization of the orchestra of Heaven as they culminate in a triumphant climax of survival. The Silence is the blackness of despair. Written from the very trenches of psychotic mania and deep depression it mirrors the mind as it surfaces for recovery. This book speaks of hope and life abundant. I applaud the author for daring to share the history of profound pain and suffering. In doing so this book will encourage others with similar history to come out of hiding... - Brigid K ...the revelation will help bring a much-needed healing to millions who will read this book. To God be the glory great things He has done. - J.K.A

Book Description
What would you be willing to do if one day you awoke in a cell and discovered that you were the primary suspect in the murder of your husband? Aida Lizaro’s life was perfect. A loving husband, a beautiful house, money, and the social status necessary to be someone. She had it all until one day she wakes up with no memory, locked behind bars, and with the only certainty being that she didn’t do it, regardless of how much the evidence insists on insinuating otherwise. A prostitute, a nurse, and a child will be the ones to demolish and reconstruct the falsity of the Delvecchio marriage. Three witnesses to a life full of abuse, lies, facades, and pain. Three witnesses who will bring embarrassment and desperation to light. What would you do to preserve your life and that of the people you love most if the rest of the world turned its back on you? How many punches can be taken without screaming? Her silence was Carlo Delvecchio’s greatest weapon and that gave Aida wings with which to fly. Love, passion, weakness, blood, and a beautiful background song about death and liberation. Months ago, when the music didn’t stop playing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “She has managed to deceive the reader in order to provide an ultimate surprise. The method and the ending are not gratuitous either, they are well-developed and it comes out well. As a debut it suggests a good start for this young novelist.” - Anika Lillo, Anika entre Libros “Upon reading the grand finale I felt like getting up and applauding until my hands bled.” Edelia, Ex Libri “Leara keeps us glued to the pages from the first act, eager to understand the entire mystery around the murder, with the certainty that it is a developed and gruesome plot.” - Daniel Ojeda, Fantasymundo.com “What I enjoyed most was the narrat

Book Description
Hailed as Italy’s The Fault in Our Stars, this Italian bestseller is now available for the first time in English. “I was born on the first day of school, and I grew up and old in just two hundred days . . .” Sixteen-year-old Leo has a way with words, but he doesn’t know it yet. He spends his time texting, polishing soccer maneuvers, and killing time with Niko and Silvia. Until a new teacher arrives and challenges him to give voice to his dreams. And so Leo is inspired to win over the red-haired beauty Beatrice. She doesn’t know Leo exists, but he’s convinced that his dream will come true. When Leo lands in the hospital and learns that Beatrice has been admitted too, his mission to be there for her will send him on a thrilling but heartbreaking journey. He wants to help her but doesn’t know how—and his dream of love will force him to grow up fast. Having already sold over a million copies, Alessandro D’Avenia’s debut novel is considered Italy’s The Fault in Our Stars. Now available in English for the first time, this rich, funny, and heartwarming coming-of-age tale asks us to explore the meaning—and the cost—of friendship, and shows us what happens when suffering bursts into the world of teenagers and renders the world of adults speechless.

Book Description
The contributions in this volume focus on the ways in which silence and music relate, contemplate each other and provide new avenues for addressing and gaining understanding of various realms of human endeavour. The book maps out this little-explored aspect of the sonic arena with the intention of defining the breadth of scope and to introduce interdisciplinary paths of exploration as a way forward for future discourse. Topics addressed include the idea of 'silent music' in the work of English philosopher Peter Sterry and Spanish Jesuit St John of the Cross; the apparently paradoxical contemplation of silence through the medium of music by Messiaen and the relationship between silence and faith; the aesthetics of Susan Sontag applied to Cage's idea of silence; silence as a different means of understanding musical texture; ways of thinking about silences in music produced during therapy sessions as a form of communication; music and silence in film, including the idea that music can function as silence; and the function of silence in early chant. Perhaps the most all-pervasive theme of the book is that of silence and nothingness, music and spirituality: a theme that has appeared in writings on John Cage but not, in a broader sense, in scholarly writing. The book reveals that unexpected concepts and ways of thinking emerge from looking at sound in relation to its antithesis, encompassing not just Western art traditions, but the relationship between music, silence, the human psyche and sociological trends - ultimately, providing deeper understanding of the elemental places both music and silence hold within world philosophies and fundamental states of being. Silence, Music, Silent Music will appeal to those working in the fields of musicology, psychology of religion, gender studies, aesthetics and philosophy.
