Drifting to me from the ninth floor kitchen is the scent of hot fresh bagels just delivered from the delicatessen down the street here from Random House on 3rd Ave in NYC. Our Friday morning breakfast. Which brings me to think about the philosopher/baker Jacob at work. When you hold this fourth collection of Jacob's thoughts in your hands, and open its cover to the first pages, I know you will become hungry, body and soul. From the first words, there is a promise of sustenance to come, in these warm and clear stories proferred from the timeless village bakery, where Jacob and his new young assistant Jonah knead and haul and fire fresh good bread into being. I'm going to go eat my breakfast. But I suggest that you come, sit down with Jacob and enfold yourself in his humble tales and in the aroma of his baking, in the soul-fortifying goodness of the wisdom Jacob has to offer as he ushers the loaves from the woodburning stove.
Each of the lessons in Jacob's Ladder will fill your soul, will inspire, nutrify, and comfort.
