Jonas Little Donkey, Big Job Jimmie Smith

Jesus instructs the disciples to fetch a donkey colt for him to ride in to Jerusalem at the time of Passover. The donkey, Jonas, is at first anxious about the assignment, but then realizes the important task he has been chosen to perform. Jonas is a funny character with a stubborn streak. Jesus didn't ride in to Jerusalem on a white stallion, but an ordinary donkey and a colt at that. It is my hope that this book will illustrate that God can use anyone that has a willing heart. I hope it will also encourage a closer look at the possible spiritual indications of why Jesus chose a donkey colt. I have always loved books, especially children's books. Being a wife, mother, and a teacher there was never much time to entertain the thought of actually writing one. For some time now that thought kept popping in my head. Stepping out on faith and a lot of prayer I decided to put those thoughts into action. My husband, Harold, is a former pastor. Thanks to him for his support, for listening to all the times the story line changed and for being a walking Bible encyclopedia. We have two grown children and nine grandchildren to whom I can accredit this book idea. Thanks to a friend , Alice Johnson, who has always given positive encouragement.
