Mylo's Destiny - A Journey with Jesus from His Birth to His Resurrection and Ascension
Sheila Jaxland tells Mylo's story in her book by that name. Mylo, a donkey colt, abandoned by his owner, feels sad and useless, alone in the middle of the Sinai Desert. Victor Guiza captures the feeling of the heat, dryness and vastness of the wide expanse of the arid Sinai desert and the hopelessness of the circumstances surrounding Mylo's situation in his full color illustrations. The brightness of the background highlight the sudden alertness of Mylo as depicted by a sense of listening, revealed in the brightness of his eyes upright ears as he listens for the voice of God instructing him in with the plan and purpose for his destiny.
Sheila Jaxland delightful story tells of the Mylo's obedience to the call of God. This imaginary story of Mylo follows the time line of the Biblical account of Joseph and Mary on the road to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, his years in Galilee, his baptism by John, his ministry and message of the Gospel leading up to the day Jesus rode on his back through the streets of Jerusalem as his followers carpeted his path with palm branches proclaiming Him as their king.
A week later Mylo was nearby as Judas, one of the twelve, betrayed Jesus with a kiss as a sign to a crowd of soldiers, who arrest him. He follows Jesus as he is taken to the cross to be crucified. He is there to see the empty tomb and later to see his ascension.
Guiza's colorful paintings illustrate each of these important scenes from the life of Christ and bring Sheila's narrative to life. Sheila's love for animals, children, and for Jesus come through in her sensitivity and heartwarming writing style.
Mylo is ideal for gift giving as the Christmas season approaches as well as for any other occasion. Parents will be blessed as their children follow along with the powerful story and as the pictures come alive on the page. Highly recommended.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review purposes. The opinions expressed are my own.
A Dubious Disciple Book Review
Ever wonder how donkeys got the sign of the cross on their backs? Wonder about it no more.
I'm a sucker for Christian children's picture books, if they aren't preachy. This one is perfect.
Mylo, an abandoned donkey, hears a voice from heaven instructing him to go west. So he sets off at a gallop, travelling for two days and two nights. He's found and stabled by Joseph, the soon-to-be father of the world's Savior. This cute little book tells the story of Jesus, from birth to ascension, from the perspective of Jesus' best friend from birth: Mylo, his loving, loyal donkey.
