* Abandoned and raised in an Ethiopian monastary, a young orphan discovers he has strange supernatural powers that lead him on a journey filled with intrigue and peril. Can the simple faith of a child and the power of the Holy Spirit convince people who've lost the ability to believe that God loves them? 368 pages, softcover from WestBow.
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.
But the world is hardly ready for a boy like Caleb.
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.
In the end nothing can prepare them for what they will find.

This was a great book. Another one I couldn't put down and will pass on to family and friends. It was exciting, suspenseful, and about Christ what more could you ask for?!!

Such an amazing book. My heart was so challenged in my faith by the faith of this child. Even though this book is fiction, I was reminded that we follow a Living God who wants us to run after Him with reckless abandon, with the pure & simple faith of a child.

This book challenged me to trust God with the faith of a child.And to see how God works in simple ways if we just believe him,we don't have to be someone special!I believe Ted was anointed by God when he wrote this book!

These books are really great. As well as being well-written, they expand your view of the things of God, showing you that there is so much more than meets the eye. I would say this is more of an adult, down-to-earth book than some of his other ones (even though I love them all.)

This is an excellent book! It really made me consider the depth of my relationship with Jesus Christ and the power that is available to us as born-again believers in Jesus Christ. It made me want a more intimate relationship with my God and Savior. I highly recomend this book! It may change your life!

This book was great! It had a great combination of government conspiracy, romance, greed, and the word of God. It helps you to remember that miracles can and do happen everyday. The innocence and the Faith in God that Caleb has in this book will undoubtedly make you smile. Enjoy!

This book is a real page turner. The story itself is tremendous but the message behind the story is even better. It is a story of fiction but it brings out what the true grace and power of grace can be in our everyday lives.
