Patrikin – Kinship through The Father

A.J.Jacobs (click to enlarge)

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. – Isaiah 30:21

I’m reading an interesting book by a self-proclaimed jewish agnostic who decided to live what the Bible commands, as literally as possible, for one year.

I was reluctant, having seen plenty of hack jobs from those with a bone to pick, but so far this author is different. I find his secular yet very honest perspective interesting.

His major problem by Day 13? – I’ll let you read his own words:

“The problem is, a lot of religion is about surrendering control and being open to radical change. I wish I could stow my secular worldview in a locker at the Port Authority Bus Terminal and retrieve it at the end of this year” – A. J.Jacobs, The Year of Living Biblically, pg 36
