It’s one thing to follow the teachings of Jesus, but it’s another thing to try to eat like him, talk like him, look like him, even vote like him.
After reading the book “A Year of Living Biblically,” by A.J. Jacobs, former pastor Ed Dobson decided to devote a year trying to live as Jesus did, based on what is written about him in the Bible and other historical documents.
