Intensely involving, emotionally charged, and infused with hope, Covenant Child is an inspiring story that challenges us to embrace the life God holds out to us."
- I absolutely LOVED this book. From the very first page, I could not put it down.
- I loved how it played out like a memoir rather than a fiction story, which made it seem even more realistic.
- The entire plot of this story has never been done before (as far as I know). The premise in itself was very unique.
- This is the first book I've read that is a "love story", yet without a romance thread (except for the beginning).
- My favorite aspect of this book was how powerful the spiritual element was, yet it wasn't preachy in the least bit. Instead, it used symbolism to illustrate God's love for us throughout the entire novel. That is exactly how Jesus used parables in the Bible, and I think it is perhaps more impactful than being overt about the book's message. I loved the overall theme of this book: how it illustrated the prodigal son story in a way that helps readers understand what they could miss out on when they choose to follow the world instead of God.
- I loved the author's writing; the entire book played out like a movie. She added just the right amount of description to make me feel as if I was in the story, yet not too much to weight the story down. The voice of the protagonist was also very well-established, and the backstory was woven in without getting in the way of the story's flow.
- I think anyone could enjoy this book, not just Christians.
- I highly recommend this. Usually when I finish reading a book, I am ready to begin another one--but ever since I finished this one, I just haven't found the desire to pick up another.
"Maybe this is how God feels when the world takes us away from Him. Maybe His heart is just as broken as yours is."
"How ridiculous that I would choose the familiar, when I had so much more waiting."
"And I want everything she has planned for me, because I just know it's for my own good."
"I chose poverty instead of paradise. I created my own prison, thinking it was freedom."

"Can't think of 1 thing I didn't like about it. It blessed me so much!"
"Many times in reading this book, my breath was taken. To then see the parallel with our inheritance through Jesus is awesome. Incredible book!!"

Terri spent the first twelve years of her life traveling in a U.S. Air Force family. She lived in nine states and attended the first four years of school in The Netherlands. Because she was a perpetual “new kid,” her imagination became her closest friend. That, she believes, was the biggest factor in her becoming a novelist. She sold her first novel at the age of twenty-five, and has had a successful career ever since.
