Industry Reviews
"Designed for the novice storyteller as well as the seasoned professional, Ancient Stories for Modern Times reminds us that stories are both medicine and nourishment. They are gifts we give each other. Skillfully retold, these wisdom tales address an array of critical issues, from "Living with One Another" to "Seeking Justice" and "Accepting Change." With Mogensen's guidance, you'll soon find yourself telling your own versions, trusting the story to come alive in your imagination. All you have to do is let one of the stories choose you and then begin. . . ." -Margo McLoughlin, author of Seeds of Generosity: Storytelling in the Classroom
"Faye Mogensen has carefully selected stories with good bones, ready to be adapted and fleshed out by tellers of any experience level. She has gathered tales from all over the globe that cover a broad range of themes and offer deep but simple wisdom. This collection is sure to have something for everyone. I've picked out several new favorites already." -Kristin Maier, author of A Good Telling: Bringing Worship to Life with Story
"Faye Mogensen has lovingly stitched together a wonderful collection of tales-and so much of this work sparkles! These stories are drawn from more than 30 countries and cultures, from first people creation myths to modern times and across a wide spectrum of religious beliefs. . . . Either buy this book as a gift for yourself or for a storyteller that you want to treat-they will thank you for it!" -Allison Cox, Coordinator, Healing Story Alliance
