Publisher's summary

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, 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 in order to make the most of my short life and stop getting distracted by trivialities?

- Is it possible to move from wrath to peacemaking? How do I become a depolarizing person in an age of outrage, tribalism, 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. Deeply serious yet amusingly relatable, this book helps us develop spiritual strength for when things fall apart.

Gorgeously articulate and thoughtful

Elizabeth Oldfield is a breath of fresh air. She humbly, intelligently, and ever beautifully builds bridges between the Christian tradition and wider culture and experiences. She never has an agenda or judgment, but instead works to see and hear the “other”. I don’t feel like I’m listening to the latest Christian attempt to convert, but to an authentic and complex human being (who is often even surprised at her own belief) working out what it means to be human and connected to others and to creation. Working out what it means to be, well, fully alive.

Really good!!

Compelling & engaging read. Profound but not pretentious, accessible and challenging. I hope Elizabeth has plans for more books in the future.

She is a self-centered liberal. Very hard to listen to.

If you want to listen to the ravings of a divisive liberal you might like this book.
