A special edition of renewing a mind today as RC Sproul reads from one of his children's books.

He is a preview.

As they went down the road, a multitude of people came around and put their coats and palm branches on the ground in front of David and Jesus.

They began to sing, shout, and wave palms in the air saying,

"'Posanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.'"

If you're a regular listener, you know of Dr. Sproul's ability to clearly and win somely communicate the deep truths of the gospel.

It was also so concerned about the next generation, which is why he dedicated time to write children's books to help pass on the Christian faith to that next generation.

Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham, and thank you for joining us today for renewing your mind.

To help you prepare for Easter, today you'll hear RC Sproul read from one of his children's books,

The Donkey Who Carried A King. It is a beloved title for many, and so I encourage you to gather your family and friends around and listen as Dr. Sproul reads.

Riley's lip trembled and he tried to wipe away his tears. He was eight years old and he didn't like to cry, but he couldn't help it.

He said, Mommy, every time we play games, the other boys picked me last. It hurts so much.

Just then, Riley's father and grandfather walked in. Riley's mother told them, Riley has had a hard day.

The other boys have been picking him last for their games.

Riley's father put his arm around his son. I understand that, he said.

Sometimes I was the last one picked for games when I was your age.

Riley was surprised. Really? He asked. His father nodded, yes.

He said, I remember how much it hurt when it happened to me.
