What’s the likelihood that people with intellectual disabilities know the secret of life? Timothy P. Shriver’s Fully Alive chronicles one man’s discovery of a wild and reckless and wonder-filled spirituality. It’s a lesson from the most unlikely spiritual masters: people with intellectual disabilities, the world’s most forgotten minority. Shriver’s teachers are also athletes in the Special Olympics, known for their gigantic smiles, breathtaking honesty, gritty determination, and all-around unconventional way of living. This is the untold story of millions of people who come to the Special Olympics believing that they are there to help a charity, only to encounter a way of life that is beautiful and unapologetically countercultural. This bold book promises nothing less than a new way of thinking about giving and receiving—where giver and receiver are part of a shared search for fulfillment. Readers will be transformed by those they encounter here. We see straight into the lives of people who face deep pain, but who turn it into beauty and love.      We also get a different lens on the story of the author’s family. American icons and originators of the Special Olympics, his parents, Sargent and Eunice Shriver—and his uncles, John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy—were all part of the same journey of discovery through their own encounters with the shame and struggle of disability. Their political genius and their resolute advocacy for those on the margins emerge from this tale of hope in the face of hardship.… (més)
