*** Reviewers Choice Award ***
Pam and Michael Nolan have always been proud of their son. Jacob was the sole reason for their marriage and now the only reason they continue to stay together. For Jacob’s sake pretending to have a happy marriage was a piece of cake.
Inspired by a teacher , Jacob decides that life is too short not to live out your dreams. Unfortunately, Pam and Michael Nolan agree to disagree while Jacob creates and puts to action a daring and courageous list of adventures.
Unexpectedly, tragedy strikes the Nolan family in such a force that it thrusts them into a new dimension filled with a mix with unfathomable sorrow and raging fury. Fortunately, Jacob’s best friend, Andy and his parents Stan and Betty Novac are devout Christians and help lend their support in many unexpected ways. One of which includes making sure Jacob’s list is completed and remembered for an eternity.
JACOB’S LIST by Stephanie Grace Whitson is a book that captures your heart and pierces your soul. The characters are defined and created in such a way that you never question any one thing Ms. Whitson does with them. From beginning to end, Ms. Whitson encourages you to evaluate your faith walk and challenges you to not only be a hearer but a doer of God’s word. This is an extraordinary book and is excellently written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who dares to explore the true meaning of love and forgiveness.
