About the Book

On Palm Sunday, a humble donkey finds his purpose.

Bartholomew is a small, clumsy donkey with very big dreams. His mother, Delilah, once carried a very important lady named Mary, on a very important night, to a very important place.

Bart loves that story. He’s heard it a hundred times. He just isn’t sure he’ll ever do anything important - especially if he keeps tripping over his own feet!

But Bart can’t shake the feeling that he was destined for something great.

Join Bartholomew the donkey in this heartwarming tale of faith, patience, and believing that the Lord has a purpose for those who least expect it.
