This is one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure to read. An agnostic trying to decide what to write next chooses a study on the Bible. Not just any study, but a year spent trying to follow the Bible's instructions as closely as possible. He takes the project very seriously, makes his friends and family a little crazy in the process, but never mocks or belittles any of the people he interviews or spends time with. He genuinely wants to learn and experience what others experience, not only for his book, but for himself. As a reader, not only do you laugh at some of his experiences, but you learn about the religious world through his eyes. I gained a new level of understanding and respect for the highly observant religious, who at first glance may seem extremely different, but really aren't that different at all.

This is a very eye-opening, humorous, and heartwarming book, and will definitely go down as one of my favorite books of the year.
