Clip Clop The Bethlehem Donkey

The Best New Christmas Story of the Year!

If you could be any character in the story of the birth of Jesus who/what would it be? That is the question my father asked my grandfather. My grandfather's answer is in the pages of this book. He is the author of this genuine and imaginative story.

Meet Clip Clop - The Bethlehem Donkey

Clip Clop was once a mistreated donkey, living a difficult life under the harsh hand of Reuben of Nazareth. But everything changed when a kind man named Joseph rescued him, offering not just a new name, but a new beginning. Now known as Clip Clop, he found himself with a very special task: to carry Mary, the mother of Jesus, on a journey to Bethlehem.

Through deserts and dusty roads, Clip Clop faithfully carried Mary, feeling the weight of something extraordinary. He was there in the quiet stable when the greatest miracle of all happened-the birth of Jesus. Join Clip Clop on this incredible journey, where he discovers that even a small donkey can play a big part in a story that changed the world.

About the Author

My grandfather, James W. Johnston, Sr., lovingly known as "Gramps", wrote this story as a sermon many years ago for a small Methodist church in South Carolina. It was a story he was known for all his life. Now, the story is available for all to read in the form of a children's book. I honor my grandfather's memory in adapting, editing and illustrating this story to continue his legacy.

Happy Reading, Jessica Johnston
