You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real, grown, human being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLiturgies of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed mythographer, storyteller and Christian thinker Martin Shaw argues that we live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Drawing on the “ancient technologies” of myths and initiatory rites, Shaw provides a road to wholeness, maturity and connection. He teaches us to read a myth the way it wants to be read; provides vivid retellings of tales powerful enough to carry you through life’s travails; and shows you how to gather and reshape your own thrown-away stories. Most vividly, he shares how these ancient technologies led him—unexpectedly—to Christ, “the True Myth,” by way of a thirty-year journey and a 101-night vigil in a Dartmoor forest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining scholarly erudition with nimble storytelling in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, \u003ci\u003eLiturgies of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling counsel of resistance and delight in the face of many modern monsters.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50956803080480,"sku":"9780593716564","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780593716564.jpg?v=1763748351","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/liturgies-of-the-wild","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
