Synopsis

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.

My husband and I have lately become convicted about making the Easter holiday more of a big deal for our budding family. Like many Americans, we've allowed Christmas to monopolize our holiday calendar, giving it the anticipation, preparation & financial devotion that may more rightly belong to Easte......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on December 16, 2022

This is probably my favorite Sproul children’s book, with the possible exception of The Barber Who Wanted to Pray. The message helps me behold the wonder and humility of Christ’s service and encourages me to serve humbly myself. A needed message.......more

Goodreads review by Becky on April 08, 2023

My husband’s pick for a family Easter gift. I was surprised that it opened on a modern kid with a rather relatable problem (getting picked last for games— clearly, I didn’t read this page’s summary before he ordered it) but it was masterfully woven into a multifaceted retelling of the events leading......more
