Book Review: Blessed Child by Tom Dekker and Bill Bright

 Tom Dekker and Bill Bright put together an amazing novel in Blessed Child that captivates the reader from start to finish.  This book is about a child of mixed races growing up in an Ethiopian Orthodox Monastery, until he has to be taken out of the country.  Why?  This mysterious child is known to few for his working of miracles.  When in America though, problems arise. At this point the book becomes more suspenseful when his life is endangered by those pursuing him.

    Blessed Child gives wonderful details and makes it possible to fathom all the crazy things going on.  It also gives you a desire to have a relationship with God like the boy does.  If that is what he has. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to give it a try who likes some suspense. There are a few scary parts.  This book is one of the best I have ever read.
