Jacob's Journey is an ageless tale of wisdom and compassion that follows Jacob the Baker on a journey to restore inner peace - a moving sequel to the international best-seller Jacob the Baker. Once there was a time when Jacob, a poor but pious baker, lived an anonymous life in a timeless community. Then all of that changed, changed forever, when one of Jacob's remarkable little notes to himself found its way into the village's bread. He became regarded as a wise man, and the townspeople sought him out for advice and commentary. All the while, Jacob struggled to maintain his simple life as a baker. Now, when the town decides to honor him, Jacob is caught by their attention. He undertakes a journey to restore his sense of well being, to reconnect with simpler things. Jacob's Journey chronicles that spiritual journey. This is a fable not about being well known, but about knowing yourself well. When Jacob realizes he must leave his house if he is ever to come home, he discovers that the first person he meets along the way is himself. As he puts it: "A man who is alone with himself is not without company." Since each of us is alone on our journey, we sometimes pack our fears for company. From now on, you may want to turn to Jacob, a wise and gentle friend, a friend who allows you distance but is never far away. Here are some of
Jacob's s thoughts to take with you along the way: This book is a treasure of plain-spoken wisdom, a book about a humble man with a vision that will inspire and comfort you. "Noah benShea…." "Noah benShea is
'The Compass' because he has -- with wisdom, and compassion, and humor --
helped so many of us to find our way. He is like a Zen Mark Twain." "Noah benShea has
elevated the human spirit to great heights with his wisdom." "Noah benShea is a
wise and compassionate man. His writings have touched me deeply. I highly
recommend his work." "The insights in
Noah benShea’s work will benefit and transform all those who read it." "Noah benShea’s
work is a valuable series of observations…I enjoyed it." In a world where
everyone is shouting their opinions, Noah benShea’s extraordinary power is
that somehow he has listened to our hearts. "Truly an
invaluable work." Noah’s benShea’s
work is full of lyrical distillations of common sense, parables, aphorisms,
inspirations and truth…One might be tempted to keep this book by your
bedside for a lifetime. "You know the joy
you feel when you’re browsing…and happen upon a new work…You will experience
that joy every time you open Noah’s work." Noah benShea is a most appealing, most refreshing author answering questions with simple, practical, sometimes even metaphysical wisdom. - William Griffin, Religion Editor, Publisher’s Weekly Product Features
