The Gift of Fiction: Youth Spirituality through Shakespeare’s and Tolkien’s Works
Robert Falzon SDB
More than a book about Shakespeare and Tolkien, it is about how young adults may engage with fiction and there, find nourishment. Robert Falzon gathered data from a group of young people who engaged with the fictional texts of Shakespeare and Tolkien: not academically or in a literary analytic way, but experientially. "This study is an excellent exercise in youth spiritual empowerment through story-telling." Glen Attard, O. Carm.

Drawing from the biblical Scriptures and how they were originally written, this book highlights not only the importance of stories in our life, but also the continuity that there is between our inner reality and our context, and moreover the continuity between the Sacred and the secular. This is a beautiful and creative proposal for exploiting the spiritual potential of non-religious fiction—a real gift to all those involved in ministering to young adults.
