If you are looking for a great book to read this holiday season, please pick up The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. This is a secular book written by an agnostic who wanted to see what would happen if he tried to follow all of the rules of the Bible for an entire year. Although this is not a Christian book and was not written in a way meant to sway anothers belief system in any direction, it was also written with plenty of respect for those who do believe. I honestly think that anyone, from any background, could get a lot out of this book. It's incredibly funny and A.J. Jacobs is so accessible you feel like you are going through the journey with him. It's also very educational because he touches on
various Jewish and Christian denominations/belief systems - many that I didn't know existed. If you read it (or have read it), please let me know what you think.
