(PRWEB) April 10, 2004 --The recent release of Mel Gibsons new movie, The Passion of Christ," created a religious frenzy that sparked controversial discussions that continue to this day. The movie portrays the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, whom Christians everywhere believe to have been the Son of God. The many debates surrounding The Passion of Christ" have brought this historical event into the limelight. As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Christ during the Easter holiday, we are reminded of the powerful influence that this mans life had on the countless number of people who have believed him to be their Savior. Easter is not only a commemoration of Christs resurrection. For many, it is a celebration of spring and, therefore, of new life and re-birth. As we watch the newborn foals wobble to their feet, or cuddle a chirping bundle of yellow fuzz, we are filled with the wonder and awe that accompanies the miraculous process of creating new life. This fresh approach to life is one that author Neil H. Ashdown has adopted for his new book, entitled One Made of Many.

This inspiring book takes an innovative approach to teaching valuable life lessons. The author, Neil Ashdown, was raised in a rural Wyoming town, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and his experiences with animals during his formative years led him to create this work told from the perspective of the same animals he grew up with. The work is allegorical, similar in genre to such classics as Animal Farm, by George Orwell and Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. Elyse Hayes Hunter of the Deseret Morning News has this to say about this intriguing story, Inspiring! Rich language and imagery paint a vivid picture of the animal world. Each animal teaches us about relationships, our own destiny, and how outsiders can gain freedom, peace and understanding. Through clever dialogue and surprisingly simple metaphors, Caboose and the other forest creatures teach us that by leaving our safety zones, we can find true strength."

One Made of Many will inspire you during this Easter season and will renew your zest for life. It will motivate you to better yourself and to understand that diversity can make us stronger if we can only learn to embrace it.
