MissBecka Gee's Reviews > The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible

Written by an agnostic man who grew up in a secular Jewish home.
This is an interesting experiment wherein he tries to abide by the rules and traditions in the Bible as literally as possible. He's included enough personal feelings and side bar stories to keep it entertaining and intimate. It felt like I was reading his journal (which in a way I'm sure I was) instead of a weird experiment.

The research is out of this world!
He read several different versions of the Bible in preparation and many companion reference books. Throughout the adventure he spoke with various religious "guides" including but not limited to; Rabbis, snake handlers, traditional Amish, mega church pastors, Atheists, Red-Letter Christians and even Creationists.

P.S.
The creationist museum in Petersburg, Kentucky sounds like an interesting road trip that will surely lead to many many giggles. They have a dinosaur with a saddle on it?! Not sure how this fits into a Creationist museum but I totally want to go now because of this!

Favourite quote from the book: "I've rarely said the word Lord, unless it's followed by of the Rings."
