In Resonance with God

“365 essays on the resonant experiences of faith and the coherence of our existence. How does a life of prayer give rise to inner wisdom, joy, and vitality? How can we persevere in difficult times, in loneliness, and in suffering? Martin Schleske explores these and many other questions. He does not write in the language of a theologian, but rather from the workshop and in the language of an artist, a sound researcher, and a violin maker.”

The publisher on the work:

“Master violin maker and bestselling author Martin Schleske has written 365 essays full of wisdom about the resonant experiences of faith and the coherence of our existence.”

Many say that his instruments are among the best in the world. And that is his goal: in everything he does, to explore the full range of possibilities to the very limits of what is feasible.

He has developed some of the tools he uses himself. And he drives hundreds of kilometers to a remote spot in the Alps to select the wood from which he wants to build a violin.
Martin Schleske, however, is not only an outstanding craftsman, scientist, writer, artist, and public speaker, but above all, a listener. In his workshop in the old town of Landsberg am Lech, he has set up a chapel on the top floor. This is where he tests the finished violins. But he also retreats to this room several times a day to meditate and pray. That is also where he wrote his new book.

His writings explore the joy of a deeply lived faith and experiences of resonance with the mystery of God. Twelve tools from his workshop symbolize the various themes the author explores.

How does a life of prayer give rise to inner wisdom, joy, and vitality? How can we persevere in difficult times, in loneliness, and in suffering? Martin Schleske explores these and many other questions. He does not write in the language of a theologian, but rather from the workshop and in the language of an artist, a sound researcher, and a violin maker.

“A durable cover and elegant, thin paper make this book a little gem that you’ll love to pick up again and again. A lifelong companion in the truest sense.”
