Storied Truths
The Stones Cry Out! Reflections on the Myths We Live By
by David V. Hicks
Classical Academic Press, 2025
(335 pages, $20.95, hardcover)
G. K. Chesterton, J. R. R. Tolkien, and C. S. Lewis all regarded the Christian gospel as a true myth —true because it happened in real time and real space; a myth because it answered our deepest questions and spoke to our deepest yearnings: Who am I? Where did I come from? How do I know I am of value? What must I do to be saved? What is the nature of goodness, truth, and beauty? Why is the world the way it is? What is the origin of evil? Is freedom a reality, or is everything determined?

—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
