Ori's Amazing Purpose

Young people naturally dream about their futures. They are influenced by family, friends, and teachers as well as the Bible and other books, television, movies, life experiences, and their unique abilities. Reinforcing dreams with positive role models is essential. Ori's story, along with the Discussion Guide included at the end of the book, helps young readers share thoughts and questions with friends and small groups. Ori the donkey overhears his master talking to his son about God, creation, and a special purpose for every living thing. Convinced that he has his own special purpose-one which exceeds what others expect of him-Ori overcomes hardship and discouragement through faith and perseverance. This allegorical story will inspire young readers to do the same.
