Crescendos and Diminuendos: Meditations for Musicians and Music Lovers

by Jack Coleman, Cliff Barrows (Foreword by)

Overview

This unique devotional is written expressly with the musically inclined in mind. Each of the fifty-two devotions is titled with a musical term, such as "Allegro" or "D. S. Al Fine," using that term to form the content. After a definition of the term, author Jack Coleman offers an insightful devotional lesson readers can learn from. Each devotion includes Scripture quotations and musical settings that illustrate the musical terms.
Musicians, students of music, and anyone who enjoys music and wants to learn more about how God uses it to inspire and instruct us will love this one-of-a-kind devotional. Includes a foreword by Cliff Barrows, music and program director for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and endorsements from Michael W. Smith, Kurt Kaiser, and Don Moen.
