About this religious work

The Year of Living Biblically : One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible As Literally As Possible by A J Jacobs; Axis 360 (Digital media service) is a religious work available to read on EtoBox.

Amazon.com Review \*\*Amazon Best of the Month, September 2007\*\*: Make no mistake: A.J. Jacobs is not a religious man. He describes himself as Jewish "in the same way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant." Yet his latest work, \*The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible\*, is an insightful and hilarious journey for readers of all faiths. Though no fatted calves were harmed in the making of this book, Jacobs chronicles 12 months living a remarkably strict Biblical life full of charity, chastity, and facial hair as impressive as anything found in \*The Lord of the Rings\*. Through it all, he manages to brilliantly keep things light, while avoiding the sinful eye of judgment. \*--Dave Callanan\* \*\*Amazon.com\*\* Subtitled: "One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible," Jacobs, or A.J., as his two-year-old son calls him, does just that. It is likely that no one \*but\* A.J. Jacobs could have accomplished such a feat. After all, his last book, \*The Know-It-All\*, chronicles his reading of the entire \*Encyclopedia Brittanica\*, from A to Z. No one but a smart, witty, self-deprecating, nitpicky kin

It is typically read by readers engaging with religious study and devotional practice.

Common subject areas: religion, theology.
