The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A.J. Jacobs

3.0

Oh my gosh it's so depressing. This man lives a whole year "biblically" by pretending to "follow all the rules" but he makes only rare and perfunctory efforts to have a changed heart. He spends all this time and effort trying to "get it right" but doesn't seek a second opinion on spanking his own child even though his heart knows it's wrong. He's really actually a rude and selfish person which is hard to read about. He spends the majority of his year on the Old Testament but almost no time at all on the New Testament other than to refuse to even try to believe Jesus is his Lord. He comes out of his year as the same person who started it.
