Summary: Delightful little book
Review: I am a sucker for pithy, wise-sounding little books like this, because despite the great philosopher Whitehead's statement, "Seek simplicity but mistrust it," I continue to believe that profound philosophical ideas need not necessarily be complex or difficult to understand by those not philosophically trained. This short work falls into an interesting category of philosophy books, as it is really a philosophy of life worked out by means of practical examples through the story of Jacob. Jacob is a humble but wise baker whose profound insights and timeless wisdom about life, spirituality, and other subjects confound and amaze the people of his small town. Altogether a well-done little book that is wise beyond its pretentions.

Summary: The Zen of a Baker
Review: Sorry, you won't be able to learn baking from this book, instead, you may find it's something more like Zen. This little poetic story lead us to a place where we can have perfect peace of mind. The reason why Human Being are Human Being is we can better utilize our thinking power. Jacob is a humble yet great influencer.
Each of the little stories inside the book sounds or looks very simple, but there are always great thoughts behind. A must have for the ones who embrace life and humanity.

Summary: Never gets old!
Review: This book is great. Some people may be reluctant to buy the book because the fact that it is somewhat a religious book, or the fact that it has some "Christian" teachings installed into it, but that should not turn you away from this great book of life lessons. It is a book of many proverbs that the author claims to thought up of himself. That in itself is impressive. Each proverb can be applied to daily life and we can easily apply it to our own lives. One proverb states "A fish cannot describe water until it is caught." It has a lot of depth but is a very light read. It is like "chicken soup for the soul" book series. There are stories that accompany these proverbs. Stories that at first glance may seem pointless, but analyzed, can give you a lot from it. Why not try this book?

Summary: Beautiful story !!
Review: This is a small-beautiful book. Full of profound aspects of life. The Jewish baker tell his stories and answer the questions form the people passed by.
Noah Ben Shea is a thinker who knows how to use the word and combine them back smoothly. The book splits into many small sesstions and leave the space for the reader to think along.
I would say this is a kind of simplified-philosophy book. But it ain't heavy at all. In contrast, it's ready for reader to digest.
