Description

Bash and the Chocolate Milk Cows

Author: Burton Cole

Illustrated by Buddy Lewis

Ages 8 to 12, Grades 3 to 7

Bash, Beamer and the gang are back dealing with loose chickens running through a fire hall, a brightly painted goat, and cows who give chocolate milk. Not only that, but there’s a robber who is holding up stores and feed mills! Is it up to Beamer to face the robber – like that time God sent Gideon to face a massive army?

In the midst of all of this, Beamer and his track star friend Lauren try to puzzle out baptism when they discover The Great Commission of Jesus: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.” They already believe. With the Sunday school picnic at Lake Erie, is time for them to say, like the guy in Acts, “Look, there’s water! What would keep me from being baptized?”

Anytime boring Beamer visits Bash, his crazy farm cousin, weirdness always rules. This time, Bash schemes a way for the cows to give chocolate milk on April Fool’s Day. Meanwhile, there’s a robber on the loose, and Beamer is stuck with his crazy cousin, the pesky neighbor Mary Jane, and a goat of many colors. But somehow Beamer manages to learn an important lesson about baptism and the Great Commission. It’s just another day at the farm!

Based on Matthew 16:15-16, this third book in the Bash series is hilarious fun for kids 8 to 12.
