Fully Alive - Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times

With humour and self-deprecation, Oldfield argues for the goodness of Christianity''s near-discarded wisdom. In a world falling apart, maybe . . . just maybe . . . there is good news in the stories of God [...] I can offer no higher praise than to say that this is a book for those who found oxygen and hope in Francis Spufford''s Unapologetic ; that is, for those who can''t quite give up on the Song of Love despite all the evidence to the contrary. Oldfield is fully aware that God - or "the G-Bomb" as she calls him - is a turn-off for so many. Perhaps, Fully Alive might just be a way for many at the edge of faith and beyond it to dwell in the beauty and challenge of our Christian inheritance.>
