Biblical Living in the 21st Century by Sarah E. Gaucin


In the course of a year, A.J. Jacobs’s life drastically changed in every way imaginable. From shaving his head to not sitting where a woman was that is on her menstrual cycle, he dived into every law and decree from the Bible and plunged it into his 21st century lifestyle. A Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs is a book that shows us the relevance and irrelevance of what a life entirely lived out by the Bible would look like. Prior to embarking on this journey, Jacobs spent numerous weeks studying the Bible and other biblical resources. Though it had a rough start, his journey was one that taught him many core values and brought a sense of divine inspiration to many of his unanswered questions of life. This book is a rating of 4 and a half stars; it’s very easy to read with simple diction and quite funny in some places, but in other places it is somewhat lengthy and a little confusing. I would suggest this book to teen and adult readers who take an interest in religion and concepts in the Bible.
