Jacob's Way

As always, Gilbert Morris delivers a story which teaches a lot about history, in this case the history of Jewish/Russian immigrants to America, and provides an uplifting story that points to God. A lot of the struggles of the main character, Reisa, mirror the struggles many people of other faiths experience when confronted with the truth of Christianity. If you enjoy Christian fiction, especially that set in post-civil war America, you will enjoy this well written novel.

This wonderful, inspirational book helps Christians like myself understand how Jewish folks view God, allowing one to sense their deep love and repect of God. As the story line shows, Christians can gently lead Jews to Jesus through example. Mr. Morris subtly suggests this through the main character in the book. There is plenty of action and history and the book reads easily and smoothly. Mr. Morris helps bring home the point that the gift of salvation is for EVERYONE!
