“To believe today is always to believe in spite of. Oldfield bears witness to a faith that faces the monsters and yet can’t shake the profound sense of being loved by a God beyond the gods of our tiny religious idolatries. Oldfield’s honest, hopeful, humane wisdom is the fruit of something spectacularly rare these days: listening. A welcome voice in our secular age.”
– James K. A. Smith
“In this beautiful book, Oldfield gives voice and vigor to a paradox of our time–that even as Christianity is officially on the wane, it is a bearer of wisdom, intelligence, and rituals of lavish value to our world in all its pain and promise. This book is for modern humans who, like her, have gone ‘off script’ in finding religion more relevant, not less so, in this young century. A great gift to all in search of a deeper life, of ‘spiritual core strength’–of a full, redemptive aliveness.”
– Krista Tippett, host of On Being
