The Live The Adventure Letter 
Bo is a first-century donkey full of spunk and energy – and he’s determined not to live his entire life inside a Nazareth grain mill.
“We were meant for something greater than this,” he says.
But … for what?
Perhaps that bright star in the sky – a star he gazes at each night – is a sign. Perhaps it’s even a sign for him!
Finally, Bo gets a big break. His barn mate helps him break out, with the owner in tow. And a chase through the streets of Nazareth ensues, until Bo loses his owner and winds up in the backyard of a young couple named Mary and Joseph. Maybe Bo really was meant for something great!

Tyler Perry (Cyrus the camel), Oprah Winfrey (Deborah the camel) and Patricia Heaton (Edith the camel) and Kelly Clarkson (Leah the horse) also have roles.
