Description

"The Year of Living Biblically:  One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible"


From the bestselling author of "The Know-It-All" comes a fascinating and hilarious exploration of religion and the Bible.


Raised in a secular family but increasingly interested in the relevance of faith in our modern world, A.J. Jacobs decides to dive in headfirst and attempt to obey the Bible as literally as possible for one full year.  He vows to follow the Ten Commandments.  To be fruitful and multiply.  To love his neighbor.  But also to obey the hundreds of less publicized rules:  to avoid wearing clothes made of mixed fibers; to play a ten-string harp; to stone adulterers.


The resulting spiritual journey is at once funny and profound, reverent and irreverent, personal and universal, and will make you see history's most influential book with new eyes.  "The Year of Living Biblically" will charm readers both secular and religious.  It is part CliffsNotes to the Bible, part memoir, and part look into worlds unimaginable.  Thou shalt not be able to put it down.


 


**Please Note:  This is a gently used book that has some discoloration on the cover and pages and some wear on the corners.
