The Ginger Bread Man is the story of a young man's journey of self-transformation from mediocrity to magic. After leaving an unfulfilling office job, a seemingly chance meeting with a Baker sets his life on a new course. Through the guidance and tutelage of this mysterious yet dedicated man, Jacob learns the simplicity and enchantment of baking. Along the way he finds love, meets new people and even invents a new type of gingerbread cookie. Through baking, Jacob discovers magic in his everyday life.
What's the worst that could happen? This simple question is the beginning of one young man's journey from uninspired employee to local craftsman. The Ginger Bread Man is a light and humorous novel about running away from the ovens of mediocrity and avoiding the foxes that seek to fool us. In this inspiring story, a man named Jacob runs away from his seemingly secure but faceless and unfulfilling office job. A wise and mysterious baker teaches him sixteen principles about making bread...and living life.
