The Divine Crash

I am finishing up a book titled “The Year of Living Like Jesus,” by Ed Dobson.  This book was very good.  I assumed it would be a book about giving to the poor and walking everywhere. That idea quickly changed as I read the book.Ed Dobson starts by growing a beard because Jesus was Jewish and traditional Judaism does not shave and then he spends the year eating kosher because that is how Jesus ate. Rev. Dobson was very open about his struggles in just how hard it was to follow Jesus because Jesus was able to fast for 40-days but he couldn’t even make it one. But then he says how easy it was for him to have drinks with others because he enjoys having a drink with friends. I really enjoyed this book and found it challenging in the way I think as a Christian.  While I don’t intend on growing my beard out for a year I think I will put more thought into my own comfort and how I spend money.
