It's not often you find a fun, funny book that also teaches you so much about one of the most important aspects of the human existence. While I enjoyed the book as a whole, the last few chapters were what really made it stand out and hold together as more than just a publicity stunt or bizarre social experiment. I think the conclusion of the book was absolutely inspired. The comments he cites from one of his mentors, a retired pastor, about the relevance of the Bible and distinguishing between following the bible and idolizing the bible were, IMO, spot on and phrased better than I'd ever heard. And Jacobs' final musings on how his year changed him and the ways in which it did not change him were incredibly thoughtful. I'd definitely recommend this book.
