Catholicism, Church History, History, Christianity, Theology 

A leading thinker in the Catholic Church and Catholic music's #1 recording artist writes a modern-day Summa.The Music of Creation is a passionate, spiritual, and intellectual journey straight into the traditional heart of Catholicism.In this remarkable book, Brother John Michael Talbot, a Secular Franciscan, author, and major recording artist, writes about what it truly means to be a Catholic and a Christian. Rediscovering a spirit of Catholicism only known to those who spend their lives studying the teachings of the Church and Christ, Talbot brings a clear, accessible message of true Christian and Catholic living to the page. Like a modern-day St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa, Talbot's profound new book is a lyrical Catholic companion to the writings of Robert Thurman or Thich Nhat Hanh. Like an inspiring monk of a Kathleen Norris book, he has a gift for preaching and writing that doesn't water down the message. His words, delivered directly from the heart of Catholic faith, explore the majesty and love that is evident in the liturgy, the Gospels, and the lives of the saints. Destined to become a spiritual and religious classic, The Music of Creation is the culmination of twenty years of study and worship. It is a stunningly powerful book that illustrates how we may completely open our life to God.* illustrated with black-and-white photographs throughout - from Amzon
