Narration In Pursuance Of Books Blessed Child (The Caleb Books #1)
Whoever said that a straightened hand was more dramatic than a healed heart anyway?A young orphaned boy was abandoned in the midst of an invasion and raised in an Ethiopian monastery. He has never seen outside its walls--at least, not the way most people see. Now he must flee those walls or die.
But the world beyond is hardly ready for a boy like Caleb.
When relief worker Jason Marker agrees to take Caleb from the monastery, he unwittingly opens humanity's doors to an incredible journey filled with political intrigue and peril. Jason and Leiah--the French-Canadian nurse who escapes the monastery with him--quickly realize Caleb's supernatural power to heal. But so do the boy's enemies, who will stop at nothing to destroy him. Jason and Leiah fight for Caleb's survival while the world erupts in debate over the source of his power.
In the end nothing can prepare them for what they discover.

This beautiful novel shares the power of faith and love through the story of a young mysterious boy named Caleb. Though he has never been outside of the Ethiopian monastery he has lived in all of his life, dire situations result in him being rescued and brought to America. It doesn't take long for Jason, his rescuer, and Leiah, a French-Canadian nurse who escaped the monastery as well, to notice that there is something different about Caleb. It's not until they bring Caleb to a church serviceTed Dekker and Bill Bright seemed like an unlikely writing team, but this story captured my attention from Page 1. Like other readers who reviewed this book, I fell in love with the child and found myself wishing we could all be like him. The supernatural power of prayer seemed "fictional" to this 21st century American, but the words of Bill Bright at the end reminded me that the skepticism of Americans is a Western characteristic. Missionaries and Christians in other parts of the world have
I really liked the Character Caleb in this story. He reminded me of myself after I accepted Christ, innocent and full of the light of the spirit.
Well done ted Dekker and Bill Bright! This was an amazing, inspirational and very moving story! This book had me grinning from ear-to-ear in one chapter and eyes nearly welling up with tears in another. This book focuses on young Caleb. A boy rescued from a monastary that is under attack in Ethiopia. He is brought to the United States by Jason and Leiah who quickly come to witness something miraculous about the boy. He has the power to heal! Trust into a new world, with religious leaders all
Even thought Im more a fan of Ted Dekkers thrillers, this book was very well written and very different from other Christian fiction books I have read, including Dekkers A.D. 30 and A.D. 33. Excited to read the sequel soon!
I very much enjoy inspirational fiction and Mr. Dekker has a most vivid imagination with the skill to get it on paper in a page-turning novel format that keeps his readers riveted to the pages and this book was no exception. While Im aware that our human minds tend to limit what the Holy Spirit can do through us as followers of Christ, I tend to feel as though Blessed Child was a bit over the top. I just wonder if Ive read enough of Ted Dekker to know the outcome of at least some of his stories
