Biblical Travels and Humor


My Jesus Year - Benyamin Cohen
Cohen, who is the son of a rabbi, travels far and wide in a year of exploring Christian faiths. His humor is entertaining, his information interesting.
The Year of Living Biblically - A J Jacobs
AJ (who read the Encyclopedia Britannica for his last work) tries to live according to biblical command. A personal look into the paradoxes of the Bible, and its traditions. Made me laugh out loud. Crazy situations, a great read that was fast-paced and fun.
These two books happened to come into the library at the same time. But it ws good to read them together, and compare and contrast.
