A J. Abrams book, The Year of living biblically, is incredible. It is a book about a Angostic man from a Jewish background, who decides he wants to take the Bible and Torah completely literally for a whole year. Half of this year will focus on the Torah, half on the Bible. This literal following includes following religious sacrifices, building, praying, binding prayers to the body, and many other rituals.
This book really shows religious transformation. A J goes from simply believing in a higher power to following Christ and God to the highest degree. He follows them, preaches about them, even almost endangers his life by doing this. He learns about the Amish, the Catholics, the Jews, and even the Snake handlers. A. J learns about the cultures and traditions passed down from his great grandparents, and learns about the passion of Christ. I think this is an incredible book, and teaches a lot about literal meaning, and interpretation. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a funny, intriguing, and religious story.
This sounds really interesting. Good job summing up the details and showing personal interest in the story.
ReplyDeleteI can learn from Weird al that even if something seems more beneficial, it sometimes makes life better if you follow your dreams.
DeleteWeird al was supposed to be an architect, but instead need up a worldwide famous parody song writer. If you follow your dreams and take risks, things might end up better.
