review 1: I read this book because I attend Calvary Church where Pastor Dobson formerly ministered. I enjoyed and admired him as a pastor. He is approachable and just plain kind. I appreciate how mindful and reflective he is. And he likes to be outside the lines a bit in a Jesus sort of way. If you enjoy reading books from different perspectives you might enjoy this. I did not find it preachy at all but quite interesting.
review 2: When I heard about The Year of Living Like Jesus, I immediately thought of AJ Jacob's The Year of Living Biblically). Dobson's journey is as a Christian, Jacobs as a Jew. During Dobson's year, he explores Judaism, Catholicism, and a few other aspects outside the Evangelical community. At times, it read as a scholarly book instead of his experi
... moreence, though I learned from his explanations of various practices. Dobson definitely went outside of his comfort zone for this project with interesting results, from drinking at bars to deciding how to vote. He also reflects on how he views his ALS because of this undertaking. Thought-provoking and honest, Dobson ends by admitting he has more to learn when it comes to being like Jesus. This could be a good book club read. less

I didn't realize that it was a day to day! Ok read, but a little slow and drones on.

Very interesting but a bit rambling. Some amazing insights, though.
