Commentary 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.

Commentary Containing Books Blessed Child (The Caleb Books #1)

I'm learning that I am simply not a fan of Ted Dekker. Not because I disagree with his beliefs or anything, but because I find his writing to be a bit simple and his characters one-dimensional. (Ex. He uses colloquialisms outside of character dialogue. Also, in this book anyway, he refers to microphones as "mikes" - maybe this is shame on the editors too, but the term is short for microphone and should be "mic", etc.) Originally I thought he was an improved Frank Peretti - a Christian writer who

Five stars are reserved for books that challenge me to think and open my mind to ideas and possibilities that shape my perspective and life. This book has done just this. The topic of the Holy Spirit is mysterious, but important. Dekker and Bright do not attempt to explain how the Trinity work together as God, but the picture is painted for us to see it in action. One may be tempted to criticize how the power of the Holy Spirit is depicted in the story, but that misses the greater point, as God

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

probably my favorite Ted Dekker book. . .

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 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 service
