The Year of Living like Jesus: My Journey of Discovering What Jesus Would Really Do

Evangelical pastor Ed Dobson had a radical idea: live one year as Jesus lived. Eat as Jesus ate. Pray as Jesus prayed. Observe the sabbath as Jesus observed it. Attend the Jewish festivals as Jesus attended them. And read the Gospels every week. It's quite different, he discovered, from how most Christians-including himself-act day to day. Dobson's transition from someone who follows Jesus to someone who lives like Jesus takes him into bars, inspires him to pick up hitchhikers, and deepens his understanding of suffering. As Dobson discovers, living like Jesus is quite different from what we imagine. In The Year of Living Like Jesus, Dobson chronicles his humbling and inspiring year in Jesus's sandals. Like A. J. Jacobs's bestseller, The Year of Living Biblically, Dobson's book is funny, challenging, and provocative. With great candor and wisdom, he invites readers to join him on a year of revelation-a year that changed his spiritual life forever.Dobson, Edward G. is the author of 'The Year of Living like Jesus: My Journey of Discovering What Jesus Would Really Do', published 2009 under ISBN 9780310247777 and ISBN 0310247772.
