Sometimes, we focus too much on what seems like the problem while ignoring the real issue. That’s exactly what this book, Donkeys Are Not the Problem – Who Are the Riders? by Kemas Lift, tries to make us realize. It’s not about the donkeys—it’s about the people guiding them.
This book takes a deep dive into the symbolic role of donkeys in the Bible. Donkeys have always been seen as hardworking, loyal, and obedient creatures. They carry heavy loads and follow their rider’s lead without question. But what happens when the wrong person is holding the reins? That’s the core question the author explores. He uses biblical stories, real-life lessons, and thought-provoking metaphors to make readers reflect on their own lives. Are we blindly following the wrong leaders? Are we allowing others to dictate our purpose?
What makes this book stand out is its blend of religious insight and personal reflection. You don’t have to be deeply religious to connect with its message. It’s about self-awareness, decision-making, and understanding who is influencing our journey. The writing is engaging and full of wisdom, making you stop and think with every chapter.
Some parts of the book can feel deep and layered, requiring careful reading, but that’s what makes it impactful. It challenges you to look beyond the surface. If you’re someone who enjoys books that make you think about life, leadership, and purpose, this one is definitely worth reading.
