"The Year of Living Biblically" is a humorous memoir written by A. J. Jacobs, following a year of trying to follow the Bible as literally as possible. The Year of Living Biblically is considered by many to be a Christian manifesto which encourages the reader to go back to the way things were meant to be and removes all that has been introduced after the time of Christ. It was adapted into an audiobook by David McCullough who reads aloud in his "serious yet eloquent voice".

The author of the book tells the story of his journey to live according to the Bible. Jacobs takes on fasting, exercise, and sexual abstinence to understand what the Bible says about these practices. He then puts these new-found Biblical principles into action by giving up alcohol and swearing off sex until marriage. But in a world where many are living against God's word, it's not easy for a man like Jacobs to stand out from all others.

On a whim, A. J. Jacobs quit his job and embarked on an experiment: to follow the bible as literally as possible for a year. What he found was that following this rule had some unexpected consequences- good and bad. He learned some lessons about faith and responsibility, and he also made a lot of mistakes in judgement.
