Anyone who has sought the meaning of life will find this simple,
yet profound story meaningful because it answers the eternal
question with a Christian principal recognized universally - if we
do not live to serve others, life has no real meaning. Dominique
the Donkey is a tale about a wild donkey whose destiny is to carry
the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem, and 33 years later, to watch her son,
Dominic, carry Jesus triumphantly into Jerusalem. Dominique is the
hero of her own journey to Diamond Peak, the highest of the sacred
mountains in the Land of the Sands, where she seeks her wildest
dream - to find the meaning of her life. She is sidetracked by the
plight of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem. Her sympathy
for the mother-to-be outweighs her wild nature, and she carries
Mary to Bethlehem, learning the value of service. After the Holy
family returns to Nazareth, Joseph releases her, and she continues
on her journey of discovery to Diamond Peak, only to realize that
the meaning of her life is not to be found there. Dominique returns
to her wild herd outside Jerusalem to teach them what she has
learned. There, she watches her son lose himself in service to
Jesus by carrying Him into Jerusalem. As the mother and son watch
while Jesus is crucified, Dominique comes to a full understanding
of her journey, and the meaning of her life. At the crucifixion,
Dominique and her son are rewarded for their service when the cross
casts a shadow across their backs, a mark which donkeys have borne
ever since. Children will enjoy Dominique the Donkey as it makes
the Bible stories of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem, and
of Jesus making his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, more
engaging through an animal's perspective. Parents will find the
story useful in teaching their children about the value of a life
of service, at the same time reminding themselves of the importance
of the promise, "My yoke is easy, and my burden, light." Please
