Book review :The year of living biblically: One man humble quest to follow the bible as literally as possible by A.J. Jacobs

Since I've been reading a lot of books I feel it is only fair for me to write a short review of those that inspired me. I will start with this book.

What I have found inspiring:-

1. Honestly I never read the bible from back to back so of course one thing I like the most is the fact that the writer actually took all the efforts to read as many bible as possible to see the difference of each translation.

2. I would also give him credit for his magnificent effort in looking for counselors from various churches. It means he was not being one sided.

3. The fact that he was taking the bible as literally as possible actually baffled me and at the beginning I condoned the idea but towards the middle of it I found myself criticizing his undertakings. However at the end I was quite impressed of what actually transpired throughout his quest.

4. I gained a perspective of religion from the agnostic point of view and to me that was equal to flying out to the airspace, a place where I have heard of but could never really associate myself with.

So what's next

As you know, the reason why we read a book is to add on our knowledge and by all means try to be a better person to make a good impact in this world. Having said that, I've decided to follow his step to finish reading the bible. It just seems so foolish not to finish reading it. One man have made it, or maybe it is just me who has not make the time to read it back to back...^_^

TIME TO CHANGE!
