Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances (Flash the Donkey)

I bought 15 of these to give as gifts! True story. Great humor mingled with biblical truth in real life applications. Easy read. Lots of laughter during the read! I’m now in love with donkey character:-)

Wonderful story, super good read!

I cannot even begin to express how absolutely delightful, moving, encouraging and wonderful I think this book is. From the sweet front cover to the back you will find a story that grabs you and moves your heart and blesses your socks off. You will laugh, and cry and sigh and nod. You will be encouraged to see life in a way that moves you to grow and to risk and find comfort and meaning and sometimes (maybe often?) in the most unlikely places. You will fall in love with a donkey and a dog and neighbours and a family and a God who really does work in surprising and wonderful ways. Rachel's writing is warm and engaging, interesting and moving. She handles language in such a way that it makes a "simple" donkey and his exploits (and those of his new family) come alive. Her ability to see beyond the "obvious" and draw life changing and transforming meaning out of the everyday (and not so everyday) happenings, crises, challenges, surprises, conundrums and blessings is a gift I'm so glad she shared with us. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I have one regret -- that I cannot put into words just how beautifully written and how wonderful this book is...and how good for the soul.

A very nicely written book. I ended up not finishing in simply because I felt the author was preaching to me, though I know that is only because her beliefs do not match mine. But it is a positive book that once again reminds us of the simple joys that come into our lives and a really a huge gift. I would recommend this book.

Hard to put it down and kept me interested in what Flash would do next. The author tied her journey to Flash's and provided words of wisdom for living life!

Awesome read! Life changing!!

A great read based on a true story!

I am an animal lover and also a lover of good Christian books that truly move the heart. This book by Rachel Anne Ridge met that criteria and more. Hearing how Rachel saw God at work through Flash, the rescue donkey, definitely moved my heart, many times with tears welling up! Loved this story!

I love this book. It’s heartwarming and humorous. A friend gave me her copy of this book. I loved it so much I bought one to give to my sister for her Birthday.

My purchase arrived well before I expected it. It was a great read and everything I was told it would be.

Excellent, well worth reading

Wonderful book!!!! God has given us so many wonderful gifts. To be truly thankful for all that we have, instead of always wanting more.

I loved Flash, and I learned soooo much spiritually from Flash, it made me want a donkey or two that I could love and learn from!
