A Donkey's Little Tale by R. Mitchell Scott is a beautifully written story in poetic verse and told through the eyes of the little donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem. We are transported to that long ago night when all creation celebrated the birth of Christ even the animals. A timeless Christmas story for all ages.Ruth Carmichael Ellinger, Award-Winning Author Preparing for the journey to Bethlehem in order to register for the census, Joseph groomed the gentle donkey colt chosen to accompany him and his with-child bride. Along the way, the charming little beast of burden committed to memory all he saw and heard along the way in hopes that his intuitive insights and attention to detail would be passed down for generations to come. Little did he realize he would be a witness to the birth of the Christ Child, never dreaming he would be pressed into the service of a King. Thus, the little chronicler fills in many gaps in the love story of Joseph and Mary, and the joyous birth of Jesus. This is his little tale.

After King Elyon's son, Prince Logon Xychirion, constructed a bridge over the Flaming Sword River, countless Carnalians have successfully escaped the doomed empire and found safety in the kingdom of Ecclessa. But the bridge is also rumored to be the entrance that King Elyon's troops need to free Carnalia and regain his rightful ownership of the kingdom and its surrounding lands. Not to be overthrown, the evil emperor of Carnalia has set his sights on the narrow bridge and has plans to destroy those loyal to King Elyon once and for all. As the Carnalian military make their plans for war, Artka and his brigade are ready to continue with Prince Logon's plan, with Jeda and Bonu setting their sights on Logon's Bridge and beyond. But things are not going as the brave troop hopes. As they near the ultimate battle between Ecclessa and Carnalia, they will be asked to risk their lives for a greater cause.

It comes with honesty and compassion as he shares his struggles and yet he shows the spiritual steps in negotiating the problem.

David was the "man after God's own heart," yet his life was characterized by hardship. During his lifetime, he was fired, became homeless, grieved the loss of three children, built a nation, lost almost everything after his affair with Bathsheba, and then saw a work that was dear to him given to another. Rejected, dejected, and worn down, David took out his pen and wrote half of the Psalms as prayers to the Lord. As he did, he experienced an awe of God that he has left for us to meditate on when we struggle through our own heartache. Praying with David: Honest Prayers for Hard Seasons will encourage you to keep crying out to God in the hard seasons. You will experience strength, hope, guidance, comfort, and peace-just as David did.
