"The army makes a man hard sometimes. I remember a young girl no more than ten who gave me a glass of buttermilk just outside of Chancellorsville. I still remember that. I guess that's all my life is. Some pictures fading out behind me, and there's not much before me."
Reisa listened as he spoke. She knew that he was a man who longed for goodness, and longed for friends, and perhaps even a wife and family. Finally she said, "I hope you find your way, Ben. God is real, and love is real."
Fleeing a bloody pogrom that threatens their tiny Russian village, Reisa Dimitri and her grandfather, Jacob, sail the ocean to a new life in America. They are swiftly embraced by New York's Jewish community. But God has other plans that will call them far from the familiar warmth and ways of their culture. Accompanied by their huge, gentle friend, Dov, Reisa and Jacob set out to make their living as traveling merchants in the post-Civil-War South. There, as new and unexpected friendships unfold, the aged Jacob searches for answers concerning the nature of the Messiah he has spent a lifetime looking and longing for. And there, the beautiful Reisa finds herself strangely drawn to Ben Driver - a man with a checkered past, a painful present, and a deadly enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy him.
Fast-paced and tender by turn, Jacob's Way is a heartwarming novel about human love, divine faithfulness, and the restoration of things that had seemed broken beyond repair."

Jacob Way (Audible Audio Edition) Gilbert Morris Judith West Zondervan Books Reviews
I had all I could do to put this down. I have very little time for reading but made time during any time I could find. EVERONE needs to read this book. The combination of history and The Truth are a strong combination.
When Reisa Dimitri and her grandfather, Jacob, are forced to leave Russia because of their Jewish heritage, they face challenges they never could have anticipated. To make money, Reisa, Jacob and their friend, Dov, travel from town to town selling items. Eventually, their path leads them into the South where they meet Sam, a devout Christian, and Phineas. Unfortunately, Jacob becomes ill and at the insistence of Sam, Reisa, Jacob and Dov are convinced to remain there. When returning one day from their sales, Reisa and Dov discover a man, Ben Driver, near death. Reisa and Dov bring him back to the house and Reisa nurses him back to health. As his health improves, romance begins to appear. But there are other changes occurring in Reisa's heart. Who is this Jesus that Sam speaks of? Could Jesus really be the Messiah they have been waiting for? And does this Jesus have a plan for Reisa that includes Ben?
I enjoyed Jacob's Way. I liked that the characters in the story were not generic, cookie-cutter characters. Although I think stereotypes can be enjoyable and have their place, I found it refreshing that the main characters had physical flaws and interesting backgrounds. I greatly enjoyed the romance involving Dov and Hilda, a reclusive neighbor. Such a sweet romance between two very non-traditional characters. A good read.
Being an American Jewish male whose family emigrated here in the 1850's from Europe I was quite curious how the writer would represent his Jewish characters. I was quite impressed with his portrayal of how we view G-D and the accurate presentation of customs and Jewish dietary practices. I enjoyed the depth of some of the characters depicted in the book while others fell short on development. It is amazing that except for 3 wild young veterans of the Confederacy, all the Christian people that these two immigrant Russian Jews meet are fully accepting of them and their foreign ways. Morris' historical data of the War Between the States was of more interest than the heavy handed way he introduced the concept of how a highly religious Orthodox Jew would accept Jesus Christ as the/his Messiah. In the book it is twice made plain that these conservative Jews think that Jews involved with the newly created Reformed movement are not really Jewish. Having been raised as a Reformed Jew and having met deeply religious Orthodox Jews I believe it is highly unlikely that Jacob would ever even listen to someone preaching that Jesus is the Messiah. All that said I did enjoy the book for its literary value.
Love Gilbert Morris's writing!
This book dealt with Jewish people learning about and accepting Christ.I always learn from his books and I am encouraged by the messages behind the stories.
Another great book by Gilbert Morris. I have enjoyed all of his books and look forward to many more/
Jacobs way
I just loved this book. No doubt Gilbert Morris is one of my favourite authors.
His way with words, sensitivety and teaching through his books is tremendoes. Gilbert is a born story teller.
It is also great to read someting of the different cultures and topics Gilbert brings to live in his books.
I have no doubt that if you enjoy a good story with a good Christian message you will enjoy Jacobs way.
