marieexplores 's review for:
This book is a funny, honest look at what it means to live Biblically. Jacobs' earnestness is engaging and, as a religious person who has questioned the very fiber of her faith, I felt he was respectful to both the secular and faithful. I enjoyed his willingness to ask questions and admired his honesty when the urge to "give himself over" frightened him. He acts as a brilliant bridge between the secular and divine with wit, kindness, and amusing bewilderment.
My only problem with the book lies in the heart of my problem with religion: Everything is filtered through the male perspective. This is not only disheartening but mystifying to me as a member of the other 51% of the world's population. I'm deeply tempted to do my own version of this project as a female because I wonder just how different an experience it would be from Jacobs'.
