How I lived in the Bible for a year, Evans R.

The decisive and independent girl Rachel does not know how to sew a button on a blouse and more than anything loves to watch football matches, eating fried ribs. But the desperate nature made her decide on a radical experiment on herself: for a year to literally follow the biblical ideal of a woman.

We know that the Bible requires women to be modest, meek and respectful. But there are much more severe and even strange rules for women there... Do not cut your hair? Get up until dawn? Sewing your clothes yourself? Call her husband "master"?!

Over a long 12 months, Rachel was waiting for a lot of tests: to live in a tent on the lawn next to his own house, to pay a fine for curses, to educate an electronic baby and humbly be silent even when his favorite football team scores!

From this book you will also learn about many inspiring women famous in the book of books. The fact that numerous prohibitions and requirements mean, where they appeared, how women tried to observe them or boldly violated. You will meet an orthodox Jew, the second wife in a polygamous marriage, the grandmother of the Amisha family and other women who still live in the Bible.

This is a book for those who at least once wondered whether it is possible in the modern world to live according to such ancient rules. For those who think about the place and role of a woman, about the pros or cons of the patriarchal family. And, of course, for those who love exciting and witty experiments.
