The Year of Living Biblically

ProgressiveChurchlady mentioned this book the other day. I see that the author, A.J. Jacobs, has a back and forth conversation about the book with Matt Labash on Slate. Best quote from Jacobs about his experience:
By the end of the year, I had moved from my old agnosticism to what a minister friend of mine calls "reverent agnosticism": Whether or not there is a God, I think there's something to the idea of sacredness. The Sabbath can be sacred, rituals can be sacred, and there's an importance to that.
