This was a fun read for me. The author was far from religious, so seeing his experience interacting with Scripture in such an extreme way was at once entertaining, challenging, and intriguing. I was surprised at the thinking it sparked within me at times and pleased at some of the effects Jacobs experienced as he conducted his experiment. I would recommend the short book with confidence to anyone interested in religion, biblical studies, memoir, or just plain eccentric people from New York. And, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of thought and research Jacobs put into such a daunting task. It just might make you want to do something crazy for a year.
