Review of Jacob's Way
In 1871, Jacob Demetri and his 17-year-old granddaughter flee Russia for America just before a massacre of Jews occurs. They meet a devout Christian man, Sam Hill, who leads Jacob to the Lord--leaving Reisa feeling alone. Reisa meets Ben Driver, who was just released from prison, and they become business partners who eventually fall in love. Ben vows to regain his honor and become a man worthy of having Reisa.

two and a half stars
I found this book to be rather stodgy and slow-moving albeit a touching love story. Knowing what I now know about the story I probably wouldn't buy it but hey, that's just me. I'm not huge on plots that rely heavily on romance to keep the reader interested

Another Keeper from Gilbert Morris
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.

intriguing
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!
