Balaam: The Donkey Who Spoke Up

By Joshua Schmidt

When God speaks, do you listen?

The Donkey Who Spoke brings the unforgettable story of Balaam to life, weaving Scripture with a powerful modern-day parable that kids will never forget. Through Balaam's journey in Numbers 22-24 and Ethan's relatable struggles at school, children discover how God guides us-even when we don't understand His ways.

When Balaam sets out to do what seems right in his own eyes, God places a messenger in his path and even opens the mouth of a donkey to save him from danger he cannot see. Thousands of years later, Ethan faces his own choices: shortcuts that look easy, crowds that cheer for the wrong thing, and voices that invite him to compromise. But like Balaam, Ethan learns that God's whispers are meant to protect, not punish-and that the safest place to be is on the path God chooses.

This book helps kids see that God's guidance often comes in gentle nudges, unexpected pauses, and quiet whispers. Perfect for family reading, bedtime devotionals, or Sunday school lessons, The Donkey Who Spoke invites children to trust God's voice and discover that His way always leads to something better.
