About the Book Pele'yah--that's Pe to rhyme with heh, Le with just a hint of lay, and Yah as in Hallelu-yah, with the stress on the last symbol--is a donkey's view of the person of Jesus as told through a young woman's eyes about the sacrificial systems of Israel in the first century. The story is suitable for children as young as 5, though 8 and above is an easier read. The book teaches a little of the Hebrew language and letters, and plausible aspects of first century history with respect to the construction of the temple and the sacrificial system. It also deals with violence and recovery, and with death. One parent remarked, "People will learn something of religion from this story." A study guide with references to the Biblical allusions, a historical timeline and source material is provided at http://www.peleyah.ca
