  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;The 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 those walls or die.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;But the world is hardly ready for a boy like Caleb.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When relief expert Jason Marker agrees to take Caleb from the monastery, he unwittingly opens humanity's doors to an incredible journey filled with intrigue and peril. Together with Leiah, the French Canadian nurse who escapes to America with them, Jason discovers Caleb's stunning power. But so do the boy's enemies, who will stop at nothing to destroy him. Jason and Leiah fight for the boy's survival while the world erupts into debate over the source of the boy's power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the end nothing can prepare them for what they will find.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not as well-written as his black, white, red trilogy, but still, it kept me reading.  I just wish his characters had a little more depth.  I love how he uses them to discuss Christianity and faith, but I never feel that connected with the people themselves...maybe that's intentional on his part to j...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23141625">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I LOVE this book. It really gave me a different view on worshiping God and the relationship that you can have with him. The way the story tells of one child's faith to move mountains is incredible. After reading this book, my whole look on worshiping God and having that special walk with him has rea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23915335">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first Ted Dekker book I ever read and the fact that he partnered with Bill Bright is great...this book touched my heart and made me want to be like a little child. I remember when I was reading this that Sandy and I would get all our work done and then stitch time here and there to read ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12369221">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Blessed Child is a wounderful book that leaves you wanting to turn the page and see what happens next. I was surprised to find this book as suspensful as it was. It is different than other books that Decker wrote, and yet it has the same excitement &quot;sitting on the edge of your seat&quot; type m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39926580">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a really good book, easy to read, hard to put down, (as are all of Ted Dekkers' books)  This book shows a boy in a very isolated setting and shows how he changed and what he learned after his surroundings changed.  There is so much more to say, but I will let you read it and I don't want to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19663890">more...</a>]]></body>
