Why does Dr. Hopper recommend this book?
This diary tracks one year in the life of an agnostic Jew who lives in New York City. He makes a sincere decision to just see what would happen to him if he tried to do exactly as the Bible says for one year. Theh first nine months he lives as a believing Jew and the last three months as a Christian. He discovers many of the same challenges and insights that I have encountered. The book is hilarious, thoughtful, and even theological. Essentially, it condeses one lifetime of spiritual introspection into a fun weekend read.
