 Jacob the Baker is an international best-selling book beloved around the world that also inspired two additional volumes, Jacob's Journey and Jacob's Ladder.
Across time, these books would also inspire composer Gary Gackstatter in Ark City, Kansas with the hope of writing a symphony that would help tell Jacob's story. When Gary, a Governor's Medal in the Arts winner, wrote Noah asking for permission and inviting Noah to narrate his timeless tale, their chemistry was immediate. And those of you fortunate enough to hear this performance will now reap the reward of this wondrous collaboration. Noah benShea reminds us that, "Jacob was a reed, and the breath of God blew through him, made music of him." Noah also reminds us that, "It is the silence between the notes that makes the music." And now we invite you to sit back, and grow quiet, and let the breath of the Creator make music of you - allow this rare listening experience to unfold for you.

Jacob the Baker is the International Best Selling and timeless story about a man whose humble life and profound wisdom are a source of both inspiration and reflection to those around him. Eighteen years in the writing, this deceptively simple book kindles the human spirit in the manner of a modern classic, its gentle message inviting each of us to witness that "a miracle is often the willingness to see the common in an uncommon way."
Jacob is a poor but pious figure who rises anonymously before dawn to light the ovens in the town bakery. As the ovens are warming and the first dough rising Jacob turns inward, scribbling notes to himself -- thoughts and observations ringing with the clarity of a soul unencumbered by "the weight of its own importance." One of Jacob's carefully folded notes is accidentally baked into a loaf of bread. When it is discovered and read, its impact is overwhelming. The secret of Jacob soon becomes a whisper that rides the wind into every ear, and the community embraces Jacob "as if he were a long-ignored human treasure suddenly unearthed." Adults and children alike gather at the bakery or stop Jacob on the street. With patience and love, Jacob the baker finds doors for those locked within themselves and their presumptions, and turns the key to their questions. Jacob the Baker is a treasury of answers in the form of brief stories and parables, told by a baker who is a poet of truth and kindness. The questions put to Jacob are as diverse as death and charity, eternity and anger, but Jacob's responses are always a celebration of rightness, a reminder of the purpose and order in life. He is a wise and gentle friend who renews our sense of belonging to the world. Jacob the Baker can be started on any page; as Jacob would say, it doesn't matter where you start, it matters that you start. "Few books touch both heaven and earth...These tiny stories are not only to be read but carried in a circle around your heart...feeding you hope and humanity whenever loss of God threatens." - Eugene Schwartz, Philanthropist "Strewn with many precious stones on the pathway to holiness. It is a wise, funny, sad, ironical, disturbing, revealing book...and an illuminating one." "This is a book full of love of life and of God and of humanity. It is touching in its simplicity, wise and charming at the same time."  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. "Heartwarming...A message of deliverance and fulfillment...A cause for joy and celebration." "Jacob will show you things that you may have known once, but probably forgot in the modern hustle and bustle of life today...A simple little book for complex times. Somehow, the answers make a lot of sense." "BenShea is a serious philosopher who believes the world is hungry for a wise and simpler kindness."  Jacob's Ladder is a small book filled with wonderfully big ideas. Noah benShea returns with his beloved and wise Jacob to the internationally bestselling Jacob the Baker series. Here truly is wisdom for the heart's ascent.
Jacob is a baker and a sage who once wrote little notes to himself in an effort to help him make sense of life. A humble man, he lived anonymously in quiet reflection--until one of his notes was acitdentally baked into a loaf of bread. When the secret of Jacob's truth and kindness were discovered, people flocked to him with the questions, great and small, troubling their souls. The village children came after school to sit on the flour sacks and hear his stories. All of this attention made it impossible for Jacob to live his quiet life and forced him from his community. But Jacob's destiny as a gentle teacher would not be denied. Now, Jacob has returned home, and something stirring in his heart now leads him down an altogether new path: fatherhood. In Jacob's Ladder a dusty boy arrives at Jacob's door, note in hand, waiting. It is the dying wish of an old friend that Jacob take in this orphan, Jonah--to teach him, to guide him--until the day Jonah is ready to sit at the Council of Sages. In this sometimes difficult and enlightening adventure of the heart, Jacob discovers that "a teacher loves teaching. A father teaches love. Teaching I know. Loving, I'm learning." Jacob's Ladder is a book that you can open on any page and be rewarded. Jacob speaks to all of us, and we are wiser for listening. He is a sage of the heart. Wisdom, parables, aphorisms, and wonderful stories lead us up Jacob's Ladder. Join Jacob and young Jonah as they together seek to understand their place in life. This charming and deceptively simple story is rich with spirited characters, enriching new themes and valuable insights. "The most important things in life aren't things," says Jacob, who teaches about the importance of love and forgiveness, responsibility and the subtle depths of parenting, growing older and becoming young, spirituality and work, loss and laughter, and so much more. Jacob's Ladder is a heartwarming, moving fable; Jacob friends--new and old--will love this new chapter in his life. Noah benShea's most accomplished work, it is meant to be cherished, shared and read again and again. "Jacob's Ladder is a collection of heart-warming stories articulating important lessons. The insights in this book, with elegant simplicity, will benefit and transform all those who read it." "To me Jacob is like a good friend. I visit him in times of joy and in times of pain, and he always gives me something worth learning. Thank you, Noah." "Once again with Jacob's Ladder, Noah benShea has elevated the human spirit to great heights with wisdom."  The Word is a wonderful and rich source for absolutely anyone seeking inspiration and wisdom.
