Explanation Conducive To 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.

Unfortunately, I felt the story was a bit cheesy and the writing itself was not that impressive. I had heard a lot about the author in a positive way, but maybe I just chose the wrong book of his to begin with.This is an excellent book. It was recommended to me by a big Ted Dekker fan after I complained about feeling "cheated" at the end of Dekker's book Thr3e. He said that if I were only going to read one Dekker book, it should be Blessed Child, written with Bill Bright (founder of Campus Crusade for Christ).This book is about a young boy named Caleb, who is raised by an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian monk. He spends all ten years of his life in a monastery, sheltered from the world at large, before
I enjoyed this book. Yes, the story was interesting. Even better though, was the way parts of the story stayed with me for days after. It has caused me to think about God and related topics in a slightly new way.
I try not to review in depth for Dekker books because he is my favorite author and my go to "escape" when I don't feel like consuming art for analyzing, critiquing, or finding what's wrong. Loved the book, as per usual 🙃 will forever recommend him
This was a splendid, powerful, and challenging novel. Definitely five starsno complaints whatsoever!The plot of Blessed Child follows an orphan boy who was raised in an Ethiopian monastery his whole life. He had never been outside it except for when he was a very young baby but he is forced to flee the monastery when enemies boldly attack. Relief expert Jason Marker and French Canadian nurse Leiah help him escape but don't realize Caleb's special power until later. As the world falls in love
Blessed ChildThis should be a must read for people who cannot feel the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives...Gods NOT dead. He is present in our lives every day, every moment, every thought. Reflecting on this book causes you to realize your thinking is way off, and its time to change that! Well done, Ted!!
probably my favorite Ted Dekker book. . .
