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. Attend the Jewish festivals as Jesus attended. Read the Gospels every week." In The Year of Living Like Jesus, Dobson chronicles his humbling and inspiring year in Jesus’ sandals. His 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.Funny, challenging, and provocative, written with great candor and wisdom, you are invited to join in on a year of revelation―a year that will change your spiritual life forever.

From the Back Cover:

“It may appear from the cover that this is a nice book about growing a beard because Jesus did but be warned- you will quickly discover that Ed's adventure takes him, and us, deep into the heart of grace, mercy and the endless discovery of just what the way of Jesus looks like - which, of course, has very little to do with having a beard.”--Rob Bell, Jesus Wants To Save Christians

“Inspiring, insightful, sometimes infuriating, often funny, a little weird (like its author) and a must read for anyone wanting to become a serious follower of Jesus Christ” --Cal Thomas

“Highly, highly recommended” --Brian McLaren
