At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation.

Without being judgmental or condemning, Shannon helps us dissect several common and often-disturbing topics, such as: a distorted fascination with pornography, the mental pursuit of multiple partners, and the lure of gay and lesbian desires.

As we gaze deeper into these biblical glimpses of the hidden world, we begin to reshape both our understanding of our everyday life and the way in which we can and should live out our faith as Christians.
