Ridge, Rachel Anne. Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances. Tyndale Momentum, Tyndale House, Carol Stream, IL, 2015.

First, from the publisher:

Meet Flash: a quirky, unconventional hero with gigantic ears, a deafening bray, a personality as big as Texas, and a story you’ll never forget. It’s the heartwarming true tale of an irrepressible donkey who needed a home–and forever changed a family.

My turn:
I know few storytellers as whimsically captivating as Rachel Anne Ridge. She writes with a gentle, conversational voice that echoes Flash’s own unhurried gait. And humor? Oh, my, yes–I mean, who names a stodgy, bedraggled little donkey “Flash,” anyway? But even as she relates incident after hilarious incident, Rachel interweaves some deeply poignant scenes with the chuckles.

Who knew that a donkey’s simple approach to life could inspire us humans to live with greater purpose and thankfulness? I’m glad Rachel listened to her donkey, and that she is sharing what she learned with the rest of us.
