Blessed Child

The Caleb Books Series

By: Ted Dekker, Bill Bright

Narrated by: Henry Kramer

One orphaned boy. A desperate race to keep him alive. And powers that are beyond comprehension.

“Whoever said a straightened hand was more dramatic than a healed heart anyway?”

A young orphaned boy was abandoned 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 or die.

But the world beyond is hardly ready for a boy like Caleb.

When relief expert Jason Marker agrees to rescue 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 the boy’s power.

In the end nothing can prepare them for what they discover.

Beautiful Story!

At first I was not sure where this book was going spiritually but as it build I found myself in some of the characters.

Heart-warmingly Beautiful story

Tugs at one's heart. Loving Christ is EVERYTHING. Ted Dekker always make the reader search his/her heart.

Excellent!

Such a touching story, even though fiction my belief grew. I felt the spirit move me.

Connection!!!!

I have just discovered Mr. Decker's writings, I can't get enough of them. However, this book was one of his best. It gave a true feeling of the human soul struggle between send and the divine. Mr. Decker please continue your writings, a huge fan... Reverend Mark Benedict.

Beautiful, clear and timely.

Clear message of Jesus Christ. The story brought to life the true gospel in an easily understood form.

nail biter

the story starts off in a war zone, so you are fed the information as it is happening. it is very well read!
Jason picks up this kid and red cross nurse and runs. he doesn't know from who or why they are chasing them. They soon realize the significance of the boy, but it a little too late. church and politics inter twine.... they have to save the special boy... but from whom?

enjoyed the excitement

I enjoyed the book. it was entertaining. wondering if I will enjoy the next as much.

THE TRUTH

As far as the voice of the Orthodox priest, I had to wince through that, but as the story continued and because I do believe in the Almighty Father, I want others to believe also. That what happened in this story is something that can happen, without a doubt. I also would like to know about the doubt of God in this world, why is it here? I know if you do not believe in Him, there is nothing else to believe. To live another minute or hour thinking as a non believer, I can't even comprehend the lonliness of it.

The Holy Spirit, the connector thru Faith to Heav

Wow, someone finally writes about the reality of The Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit Himself as the connector between the two KINGDOMS and their KINGS, all through Desire and Faith. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

What a great read!

I can’t wait to start the next one!

Love the message, love the story! Fabulous!
