A Year of Literal Bible
Living (the) Bible
A.J. Jacobs spent a year trying to be completely obedient to Scripture. Even down to his underwear.
This was a fascinating article about a non-practicing Jew who decided to live every aspect of scripture - New and Old Testaments. It's fascinating read, though a bit short. It's a peak into one man's life and heart as he discovers for himself all that the Bible actually says, rather than just what he's heard that it says... which he admits wasn't much. The end result speaks volumes about how God works... if we stop and think about it.

Even down to his underware?!

I assume that means not mixing fibers. Which brings up an interesting question: what did he do about the prescribed sacrifices in the Pentateuch?
I thought the adulterer story was a hoot.
