Non-Fiction #2

As the book progresses Jacobs becomes more and more devote to following the Bible as literally as he can. For example, he decides to follow the "go forth and multiply" law as soon as he can, and when he and his wife do not seem to have any luck he takes every measure to ensure that she will be able to have children, which in the end worked out for them and she became pregnant with twins.

During this time Jacobs also looks into the idea of Polygamy as set out in the Bible and in turn thinks about convincing his wife that it is a good idea, without actually taking the idea seriously himself. He even receives advice about how to convince her from his religious advisers.

Although many of the Biblical laws, like polygamy, are out dated and in many cases illegal he also describes how this experience has benefited him and has begun to change him. He states that he looks forward to prayers and doesn't mind that he cannot shave his beard. However, the year was far from over.
