Jake's Choice (To Save a Life) ReviewJake's Choice is an awesome sequel to the Britts' To Save A Life book. Seldom do authors improve on their first book, but the Britts have hit a home-run with this one!
Jake's Choice is a study in contrasts as the lives of Jake and Amy continue to unfold. Jake goes to Louisville, KY to live out his dream of playing college basketball for the much-heralded Cardinals while Amy is left behind in Oceanside, CA to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams after giving up their daughter Emily for adoption to a wonderful church couple.
For Jake, who postponed going to Louisville for a semester to be with Amy during her pregnancy and the birth of their daughter, life starts to unravel the minute he gets there. The transition from former high school basketball star and popular man on campus and new Christian to another anonymous face arriving on a college campus jars his reality. There are no warm welcomes. Nothing. He finds himself with an interesting roommate (who hasn't been there?) who's also the basketball team, but worst of all his teammates dis him for not arriving sooner and being there for the team. Add to that the fact he isn't happy with the churches he visits and you have the recipe for the disaster that unfolds in the pages that follow.
Amy, on the other hand, is attending a community college in Southern California, and is living with regrets about giving up her daughter Emily. As her story unfolds, she begins to run with Andrea and eventually gets together with Cari, the youth pastor Chris' wife. Amy comes to faith in Jesus Christ and wants to share what's she's learning with Jake.
What unfolds is these two people who are living in opposite parts of the country are moving in two different directions: Amy closer to God and Jake further away. My wife drew a picture for me while we dating that amply illustrates a beautiful principle that applies here. On a piece of paper she drew a triangle. At the base of the triangle, on the left hand side, she wrote Me; on the right hand side, she wrote You. At the top of the triangle, she wrote God. Her point: as we each drew nearer to God we would be drawn closer together. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case with Amy and Jake. Amy drew nearer to God and Jake did not. Their relationship suffered as a result of this.
Without giving up too much of the story: Amy follows God's direction for her life and lives out her dream of going to Stanford University and is blessed beyond her wildest dreams. Jake, on the other hand, tries to win the approval of his teammates, makes bad choices, and goes through one trial after another. It isn't until an elderly man from the first church he visited in Louisville comes back into his life and challenges him to glow - to let his life shine before men so that they may see his good works and glorify his Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16)- that Jake starts to get his life back on track.
In my 23 years of walking with the Lord I have read a number of Christian books, both fiction and nonfiction, but I'll tell you in all honestly, apart from the Bible, I have never in my life read a book that truly puts into proper persective what it means to be a Christian than Jake's Choice. This is a must read book, as is it's prequel To Save A Life. May God continue to use Jim and Rachel Britts in a mighty way to reach the lost and hurting for Christ. May the story continue!Jake's Choice (To Save a Life) OverviewThe second novel in the To Save A Life series finds Jake Taylor at college thousands of miles apart from his girlfriend Amy. Befriending a young girl with a traumatic history leads Amy back to the father who abandoned her. Jake's position on the Louisville basketball team lands him in the midst of parties, beautiful women...and one decision that will shake him to the core. When everything Jake believes is challenged, will he go with the flow or stand alone for what is right? One choice will change everything...
