Famous Donkeys of the Bible: Six Studies for Individuals or Groups Brant D. Baker

The Bible features donkeys in abundance, and in great variety. There are, of course, numerous mentions of the gentle beast of burden we all know and love. These humble servants are often overlooked, so quiet is their appearance, but they?re used to that. Then, of course, are donkeys of an entirely different, two-footed sort. These donkeys are also found in abundance and great variety in the Bible. All of these are found in this study: Abraham?s gentle beast, Balaam (and his mount), Samson (and the 1000 Philistines he slew with a jawbone), the priest in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The humble steed who carried Mary, the mother of our Lord, and of course the noble animal who was there on Palm Sunday. Come explore the qualities of donkeys to be celebrated, and those to be avoided, in this delightful six-session study, suitable for individuals or small groups.
