Living The Literal Bible

Many people confess to following the literal word of the bible, but realistically they pick and choose their battles and abstinences. What if you were to live your life to the literal letter of the bible? Following all the laid down provisos and restrictions contained throughout and not just the 10 commandments so commonly trumpeted as the official moral code of our lives. Jewish writer AJ Jacobs attempted this very thing, from growing a full length beard (watch out for that burning bush!) to not touching his wife for a week during her menstrual cycle, Jacobs refrains from gossip, lying and many other more intricate conditions through scripture. His book "The Year Of Living Bibically" is out now for anyone interested in journeying on Jacob's quest to become "a reverent agnostic". http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,2249203,00.html#article_continue
