Ben is like any other 10 year old boy in Galilee, taking goods and fish to market on the back of his donkey. That is why they call him the donkey boy. But unusual things begin to happen when Ben meets up with a carpenter from the town of Nazareth. Christian fiction for children. This enchanting tale of one young boy's relationship with Christ appeals to readers of all ages. Doreen Harrison's book draws on her experience as a school headteacher and a church minister.
