Overview
So here it is, then: the bridge for the present moment, across which seekers for more meaning in their lives can travel in the knowledge that they won't be bullied, browbeaten, or talked down to. This book. This one. In your hand.Synopsis
In a world experiencing turbulent change, we need people who are resilient, kind, open, generous, and brave. How do we become those people? In Fully Alive, now available in paperback, popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield uses the seven deadly sins as a framework to explore questions such as: ● How can I move from sloth to attention to make the most of my short life and stop getting distracted by trivialities? ● Is it possible to move from wrath to peacemaking and become a depolarizing person in an age of outrage and division? ● What might it look like to move from gluttony to awe, finding transcendence in expansive, life-giving ways--not in a tub of ice cream or a bottle of wine? ● How can I move from pride to connection, overcoming the disconnection that keeps me from intimacy, community, and ultimately the divine? Oldfield shows why, in a world heavy on judgment, she still finds the concept of sin liberating--and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding in her Christian faith ways to feel fully alive.Book Details
