Is atheism dead? / by Metaxas, Eric,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A highly entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 TIME cover that itself provocatively asked "Is God Dead?" In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas echoes C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his case, along the way presenting breathtaking--and sometimes astonishing--new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows that much we have assumed about the biggest questions of human existence is in fact dramatically outdated, and is therefore in need of the most urgent reevaluation"--

The instrumentalist / by Constable, Harriet,author.;
Inspired by true events, The Instrumentalist tells the story of Anna Maria della Pietà--orphan, musical prodigy and favourite student of Antonio Vivaldi. Anna Maria is on a mission: to become Venice's greatest violinist and composer. In her remarkable world of colour and sound, it seems as if nothing can stop her. But it is 1704 and she is, after all, a girl. The pursuit of her ambition will test everything Anna Maria holds dear. With echoes of internationally renowned historical fiction such as Tuscan Daughter by Lisa Rochon, Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell and Perfume by Patrick Süskind, The Instrumentalist brings to life the remarkable story of one of classical music's most important yet overlooked figures. It is guaranteed to transport even the most unmusical of readers into a whole other realm.

Everything after / by Santopolo, Jill,author.;
"Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She's a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They're happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily's present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she'd hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily's past passions come roaring back into her life, she'll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?"--
