Ever After: A Musician's Spiritual Journey

Musician, teacher, and psychologist Tibor Olah shares his fascinating journey from playing the violin in the Franz Liszt Symphony Orchestra in Sopron, Hungary, at the age of 10, to fleeing to Canada from the Hungarian Revolution in his youth, and later becoming a special education music teacher in the Canadian school system. In that role, he devised unique methodologies to teach music to deaf children, offering them the opportunity to express themselves creatively while also aiding their progress with speech and improving their hand-eye coordination.

Giving deaf children a voice was as gratifying as it was humbling for Olah, a deeply spiritual person, who in his youth had worked with prayer and playing his violin to successfully overcome a severe stuttering handicap. Drawing on his extensive studies of religion, psychology, philosophy, and his own life experiences, he explains the value of prayer, meditation, and reflection on spiritual living and self-realization in daily life and when we are faced with death-our own or that of a loved one.

An inspiring read, Ever After will delight, uplift, and encourage its readers to give faith a central role in their lives.
