Blessed Child

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this.

Great book. Interesting plot. I hated that it just ended so quickly. Good sugestión, Mary

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?
