This is my favorite book! I got this book a few years before Alyssa and Alexander were born and I still continue to read it every year. For the past few years at Christmastime we have read it together. It is such a simple and beautiful story of the light of Christ in our lives as told from his burro named Meshak who serves his Master faithfully until the end.
"A faithful and loving companion, Meshak follows and serves Jesus throughout His life. In time the burro grows to understand the importance of the light that Jesus strives to kindle in people's souls. Ultimately Meshak comes to realize that Jesus is like the oil that fills a lamp, guiding our way out of the darkness... and into the light of eternal love."
When we are finished we would love to let you borrow it. It can be read at anytime of the year. It is not a Christmas story although I like to read it at this time of year to help me focus on what is really important.
