A superb, inspiring read.\" --GABOR MATÉ, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Normal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom \"one of the greatest storytellers we have\" (Robert Bly), an urgent invitation to allow the oldest stories--and the Greatest Story--to reshape our own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's an old Irish belief that if you aren't wrapped in a cloak of story you will be unprepared for what the world will hurl at you. You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real, grown, human being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0593716566\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780593716564\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Shaw, Martin\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Sentinel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sentinel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Feb 2026)","offer_id":46080894861509,"sku":"9780593716564","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780593716564.jpg?v=1776041504","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/liturgies-of-the-wild-myths-that-make-us","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
