Emphasis Preaching Journal

A. J. Jacobs wrote of his experiences in seeking to live one year "biblically." He wrote, "This year I wanted an uncensored Passover, I wanted to tell the whole story of the Exodus." When his parents and parents-in-law arrived he "greeted them in my biblically mandated outfit. Exodus says to eat with your loins girded -- I wear a belt around a white robe."
