## Description

The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King , the latest children’s book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul. Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate―and Davey’s master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it―until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people. The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus’ Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.

Review: A must for your bookshelf! - Such a good story! My kids were a little young for this one but I loved it as an adult! Good illustrations helped keep my little ones engaged but it’s a long story better fit for older kids.
Review: Perfect for ages 5 and up! Wonderfully written. - This is a must-have for grandparents and parents alike. It's a beautiful way to retell the story of Jesus from a unique perspective, offering real-life application examples and relatable content. I suggest this book is for children ages 5 to 12, as it is a longer read with more complex concepts that a toddler would not understand.
