What is the nature of music and what is its meaning in our lives? How is it created? How can it be more fully understood and appreciated? These questions are explored here by a composer who has written music for Itzhak Perlman, the Beaux Arts Trio and the National Symphony Orchestra. With disciplined lyricism and entirely devoid of technical jargon, Bruce Adolphe's book probes into the heart of such matters as the role of memory and imagination in creative expression, the meaning of inspiration, spirituality in music, the challenge of arts education and how music communicates. The author, acclaimed for his pre-concert lectures for The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 1992, also considers the work of composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Ravel in a way that is both poetic and accessible, designed to get directly to the essence of their art.

So often people pray and wonder if their prayers, or even thoughts, have been lost to the atmosphere. Nancy Brinkley Weems came to a relationship with Christ as an adult with many questions. Not wanting mans answers, she sought out Gods voice. When a friend read a God conversation, she was taken aback that someone would freely chat with God and hear from Him directly. In You Talk, Ill Listen, Nancy Brinkley Weems will use her teaching skills and knack for bringing new information in at a level that anyone can grasp. Sharing her battles of spiritual growth through growing up, and growing old; chatting with God about the trials in life, including losing her husband of thirty-eight years, and hearing Gods voice are some of the themes of this book. God spoke us into existence and is still speaking to us now. I have to say I was amazed with this book. I found it amazing that you so honestly bared the truth of your soul and your relationship with God, so that others could find theirs. Angela Lowe, New Smyrna Beach, Florida God uses you to speak to others, and he is allowing that to happen in a very meaningful way. Your words, which I believe are inspired by God, have provided insight and comfort during a tragic time in my life. Lauren Canary,Physicians Assistant, Wauchula, Florida
