Review: "Donkeys Still Talk" is an incredibly timely book on so many issues we face as women. Virelle's wisdom and insight put practical application toward helping us in our struggles in the 21st century. The book will impact lives greatly...and you'll love the cover, too. It's one of those books that make you say "WOW." Virelle deals honestly and vulnerably with struggles that are so often brushed over in the Christian community. It's a must read!

Summary: Good Book, Good advice
Review: A "donkey" can be a difficult person or an unforeseen situation that comes into our lives, often without warning. Who among us hasn't had to deal with one or two of those? We may not always appreciate these distracting and unwelcomed intrusions, but according to author Virelle Kidder, we can learn from them. In fact, sometimes the very reason these "donkeys" are in our lives might be to teach us something. Virelle Kidder is a wonderful writer, and her newest book DONKEYS STILL TALK is both enjoyable and uplifting. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with a difficult situation in his or her life.

Summary: Sure-footed Wisdom
Review: Because God is so personal, he speaks to us through objects we understand. Who can't relate to a wild headstrong donkey? Virelle uses the donkey, a necessity for survival in Bible times, as a symbol for the challenges and irritations braying at our door. She teaches us how to identify our beasts of burden and how to tame them by "letting God handle the herd."

Filled with scriptural illustrations and warm personal stories, Virelle Kidder's book is a must have for your bookshelf. Read it once, but you'll keep coming back over again for encouragement and insight.

Summary: Accepting What God Allows
Review: I commend Virelle Kidder on prophetically speaking the will of God in individual lives. This book is truly a God send and much needed in the lives of every born again believer in Jesus Christ. So often in our Christian walk we simply forget that God is in control of everything pertaining to us and He allows certain trials, tribulations and struggles to enter into our lives to build our character and cause us to grow closer to Him. Virelle simply reminds us that we must learn how to accept what God allows to come into our lives without crying and complaining. I highly recommend this book to any and everyone. To sum it all up in a nutshell all that's being said is that we grow up and move in the direction God has for us. We were called to suffer with Christ and if we do not suffer than we will not rein with Him. THIS BOOK IS A WEAPON OF WARFARE NEEDED FOR THE BATTLE

Summary: Braying All the Way!
Review: I had the joy of writing the foreword for this book and can say with all my heart, "You gotta read this one!" As a woman who never learns anything the easy way, I very much identified with the various scenarios Virelle Kidder describes in Donkeys Still Talk. How often have I whined about problems, challenges, and difficult people, when they were God-sent "donkeys" meant to get my attention?! This book offers the two things we can never get enough of in this world--truth and hope--penned by a writer who has plenty of both to share.

Summary: Save therapy costs--buy this book
Review: I loved Virelle Kidder's soft, friendly manner of writing to encourage me to change how I view the tough interruptions of my life. I was particularly helped with her chapter about unburdening the beast--which helped me realistically view how I tend to blame others, hold onto bitterness, take myself too seriously and lean toward other unattractive characteristics such as anger and complaint. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Practical and delightful
Review: LIfe's interuptions often are met with grumbling. Virelle helps us see that there are great lessons to be learned from them. Her practical steps along with insightful personal questions help one find the solutions to grow through the interuptions. I savored each chapter and used the response questions at the end of each section to do a quick checkup on my life. It proved to be an edifying process. It is a book which needs to be read or referred to every time we hit a new unexpected interruption in life.

Summary: An amazing book from an amazing writer
Review: Virelle Kidder is an amazing writer.Thanks to her simple, open style the words leap off the page and into the heart. It's funny, there were no startling revelations in Donkeys Still Talk, yet with each flip of the page I rediscovered something about myself and God. It's not just that Virelle is a great storyteller, though she is, but it's that she is transparent and willing to share with the reader all she has learned from the many and varied donkey messengers in her life. The format of this book, complete with the face to face sections, makes it easy to apply what Virelle has written to our specific situation. This is a must read for anyone who has ever had an interruption to the life they had planned on living.
