  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;One man holds the key to finding the ark of the covenant.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In this explosive sequel to &lt;em&gt;Blessed Child&lt;/em&gt;, Rebecca Soloman leads a team deep into the Ethiopian desert to hunt the one man who may know the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant.  But Islamic fundamentalists fear that the Ark's discovery will compel Israel to rebuild Soloman's temple on the very site of their own holy mosque in Jerusalem.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;They immediately dispatch Ismael, their most accomplished assassin, to pursue the same man, but the one in their sights is no ordinary man.  His name is Caleb, and he is also on a quest--to find again the love he once embraced as a child.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The fate of a million souls rests in the hands of these three.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Amazing story. I liked A Man Called Blessed even more than Bright and Dekker's Blessed Child. This story related the young adult years of Caleb, the orphan boy who was adopted by Jason and Leiah in the first book. Caleb is back at the rebuilt monastery in Ethiopia with his parents, struggling to fin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72247287">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book without knowing that it is a sequel to Blessed Child.  Probably would have helped to read that one first.  Regardless, I was intrigued by the story, and it kept my interest, but I was slightly disappointed by the ending, probably because it was not satisfying.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one was hard to get through too. I especially felt like it was anti-climactic. I almost didn't finish it, and I really wouldn't have missed anything. There was also a lot of war-politician-talk, that I skimmed over, because I felt it added little to the main story. Not really impressed. ]]></body>
