The thrust of this book was that God no longer dwelt within an ark of wood and gold, but within the ark of our hearts. Not nearly as good as its predecessor. Apparently, I picked up in the middle of a series as this is the first book I had read by the author. The book was still excellent as a stand alone read. Although a work of fiction, it gave new insight into some real life events in the Middle East and how they affect each of the surrounding nations. As a believer, I am very familiar with the Ark of the Covenant. This book was interesting in the hunt for the Ark and the people who live In that part of the world. In this sequel to A Child Called Blessed, the child is grown up now and living in the Ethopian desert with his parents and a bunch of monks. It would seem he's destined to live out his life in obscurity, but an Israeli group discovers that the place where he is living may be the secret hiding place of the Ark of the Covenant! So then of course there is an expedition that sets out to recover the ark, with a group of Arab militants right on their heels. Will the ark be restored to Israel, or will it be destroyed, or does it really matter? Along with the typical thrill of seeing the Arabs and Israeli's duke it out, there is some mystical type stufff thrown in when Caleb rediscovers his connection to God that he had when he was a child. Some of the stunts he pulls are very much like the stuff in Dekker's Circle trilogy. It serves to illustrate his point, which is what could really happen if someone totally trusted God? And of course, it's also intriguing to see the political fallout from Israel discovering the Ark of the Covenant. I don't know that he got that quite right, it's a little simplistic but still realistic enough to give a good read. Fans of Dekker's type of suspense with the mystical elements he throws in and the spiritual lessons should definitely check out this older book of his. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

One man holds the key to finding the ark of the covenant. In this explosive sequel to Blessed Child, 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. 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. The fate of a million souls rests in the hands of these three.
