Martin Shaw

*INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
‘One of the master storytellers of our time’ – Dr Gabor Maté, author of The Myth of Normal 
 
From '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. 
 
There’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. 
 
In Liturgies of the Wild, acclaimed mythographer, storyteller and Christian thinker Martin Shaw argues that we live in a myth-impoverished age, cut off from the deep wells of story and meaning that once prepared us for life’s challenges. 
 
Drawing on the 'ancient technologies' of myths and initiatory rites, Shaw invites readers to rediscover the ancient stories that shape the human soul — and to encounter Christ as the ultimate, transforming story providing a road to wholeness, maturity and connection. Within these pages, Shaw:<ul><li>Teaches us to read a myth the way it wants to be read;</li><li>Provides vivid retellings of tales powerful enough to carry you through life’s travails;</li><li>Shows you how to gather and reshape your own thrown-away stories.</li></ul>Most vividly, Shaw shares his own spiritual journey and 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. 
 
Blending nimble storytelling in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien with scholarly depth, Liturgies of the Wild s a thrilling counsel of resistance and delight in the face of many modern monsters, providing a transformative journey into story, spirit and self-discovery. 
 
Ebury Vine: The Home Of Christian Living. Drawing on the deep roots of Christianity to cultivate curious minds and inspire faith-informed growth.

Myths that Make Us

Lacy Phillips

A groundbreaking, science-backed approach to manifesting the life of your dreams 
 
'This book is a revelation! Lacy’s focus on subconscious beliefs rather than just positive thinking is a game-changer.' – Dr Tara Swart, bestselling author of The Source 
 
At age 19, Lacy Phillips’s life was a mess, and in desperation, she turned to a book on manifesting. She followed the book to a T, then sought out everything else she could find on manifesting and followed that, too. There was only one problem: None of it was working. 
 
Eventually, Lacy threw away all those manifestation books and began paying close attention to her own patterns and inner wisdom. She noticed what was going on internally that allowed her to manifest in some areas but not in others. Over the course of several years, she developed her own unique formula for manifestation, later teaming up with doctors and healers to make her system as effective and science-backed as possible. 
 
After radically changing her own life through this process, Lacy started teaching it to friends and individual clients. As their lives began to transform, their networks started to seek her out, too. Soon there was a massive tribe of manifesters out there living the lives of their dreams. 
 
Weaving together stories from Lacy’s own journey and those of her clients while offering clear, practical, step-by-step guidance in a warm, no-nonsense tone, How to Manifest reveals the real secret to manifestation: We do not manifest from our thoughts. We manifest from our subconscious beliefs. This is, in essence, the opposite of most other manifestation processes. While they say you must train your thoughts to remain positive, How to Manifest teaches you how to transform your subconscious beliefs about what you do and do not deserve and what is possible for you. It helps you take advantage of neuroplasticity to rewire your subconscious mind to align with your greatest, most authentic desires. And this is exactly how you will be able to attract those desires into your life. 
 
Lacy has already helped tens of thousands of people achieve their dreams through her To Be Magnetic program. Now it’s your turn. Discard the complicated techniques, rituals, and formulas that are not getting you anywhere, and start manifesting the life you most desire – and deserve.

The Art and Science of Getting Happier

Hollie Starling

It was the last of the ebbing days, the brink of the new season. It was the murky hours, the clove between sunset and sunrise. It was a tall tree with deep roots and it had been bleeding for a long while. 
 
As summer falls into autumn, Hollie Starling is hit by the heart-stopping news that her father has died by suicide. Thrust into a state of 'grief on hard mode', Hollie feels underserved by current attitudes toward grief and so seeks another way through the dark.

The Bleeding Tree is an unflinching year-zero guidebook to grief that shows us that by looking back to past traditions of bereavement we can all find our own way forward. 
 
'Starling's account of family life is riveting and narrated with grace and honesty, counterpointing the personal with the mythic.' - Irish Times
