The Power of a Dream

 (Fremont Neb.)-   After thirteen years of success in the business world, Dean Jacobs asked himself a couple of questions: How much does one need to be happy? What is my dream? The answer to the latter was easy: to take a journey around the world!

For nearly two years Dean Jacobs traversed the globe on a low budget adventure to better understand and know the world we all share.

This journey is now captured in his book: Wondrous Journey- The World is Waiting for You.

Living on 10-15 dollars a day, Dean wandered from Australia and Southeast Asia to the Middle East and Africa as he explored 28 countries.  He crossed the equator 4 times, ate exotic foods and encountered fascinating animals. But more importantly in a world that we are told to be afraid of, Dean found something different.  The kindness of the ordinary people in the world was the rule, not the exception.  Near the beginning of his trip 9-11 occurred.  Instead of stopping, he continued out of a realization that more then ever he needed to learn about the world.  This is a story of a man who would stop at nothing to follow his dream and the magic that happens when one follows their heart.

His book captures the heart of the journey with his stories and wonderful color photos. 

Wondrous Journey is a book for all ages:

• Young Children will enjoy the photos of animals from around the world
• Middle School Students will read about areas they currently study in school
• High School and College Students learn about the value of following a dream
• Adults realize it’s never too late
