Publisher's summary

The heartwarming tale of an irrepressible donkey who needed a home - and forever changed a family.

Rachel Anne Ridge was at the end of her rope. The economy had crashed, taking her formerly thriving business along with it. She had been a successful artist, doing work she loved, but now she felt like a failure. How would her family pay their bills? What would the future hold? If only God would somehow let them know that everything was going to be all right... and then Flash the donkey showed up.

If there is ever a good time to discover a wounded, frightened, bedraggled donkey standing in your driveway, this wasn't it. The local sheriff dismissed Flash as "worthless". But Rachel didn't believe that, and she couldn't turn him away. She brought Flash into her struggling family during their darkest hour - and he turned out to be the very thing they needed most.

Flash is the true story of their adventures together in learning to love and trust; breaking down whatever fences stood in their way; and finding the strength, confidence, and faith to carry on. Prepare to fall in love with Flash: a quirky, unlikely hero with gigantic ears, a deafening bray, a personality as big as Texas, and a story you'll never forget.

Closer to my Lord

Suggested to me by a new Christian friend. This book has a good Christian topic with an uplifting message. I like the summary of the "Flash Lessons" at the end bringing me closer to my lord.

Unexpected

The read was not what I was expecting. I love horses and dove right into the story of one of their amazing cousins and the Family that surrounded him. Though sometimes I found myself hoping the family would have gotten a little help from some knowledgeable equine professional, perhaps the Lessons that were brought forth to them would have been missed. Thanks to the lord for his wonderful creation and for talking and instructing us through it! And thanks to him for bringing someone like Rachel into our lives. She is filled with the lords grace to see and share what amazing things our lord is capable of doing.

So good to read a Christian book. I will be rereading and taking notes of the scriptures. The narrator was very good too!. I truly loved the lessons learned from the Donkey. Excellent read. I have horses and minis and this book helped me to appreciate life and its journey and our Lord Jesus Christ!

Well worth your time.

I had many good “laugh-out-loud” moments when reading this book. The author’s descriptions of her interactions with Flash were
poignant without being syrupy, and were certainly heartwarming. A delightful book!
