missnorth 's review for:
The problem, it seems to me, with the mindset of many "believers" is that they seem so *sure* of themselves. Jacobs approaches the Bible with a heavy dose of humility and innocent curiosity, removing as many of the usual filters as possible. In the process, he goes from being a garden variety agnostic, to a "reverent agnostic", a notable change. Many of the rules are off-the-wall - no mixed fibers in clothing, only eat the fruit of a tree older than 4 years - but they somehow add up to the author's newfound sense of the divine. By approaching the book with a "beginner's mind", Jacobs clearly shows how little even the most devout can truly know or follow the Bible.
There were times the book felt a little superficial - a little too "lite", but the guy has guts and it was dang funny at times. I've also been inspired to read Ecclesiastes.
