Oundle Festival of Literature: Elizabeth Oldfield

Elizabeth Oldfield joins us to talk about her book, which challenges us to ask, what it means to be FULLY ALIVE? Part memoir, part manifesto for how we can live deeper, wiser lives and become the kind of people the world might need, Oldfield draws on ancient wisdom and stories from her own life in her quest to live a meaningful, fulfilling life.

​FULLY ALIVE is for readers looking for an honest conversation about the deepest questions in our ordinary lives, and practical, meaningful ideas to help us pay attention to the people we are becoming. 

With humour and self-deprecation, Elizabeth argues for the goodness of Christianity’s near-discarded wisdom. She explores our modern culture through the lens of the seven deadly sins. In a world falling apart, maybe… just maybe… there is good news in the stories of God.

‘The bridge for the present moment, across which seekers for more meaning in their lives can travel.’ Francis Spufford

Elizabeth ‘is a trustworthy companion for the mess that we have got ourselves into’. Church Times Review
