This book should be a must read for any American Christian, these are the things that our Christian brothers and sisters in other countries face every day.
Alana Terry has, what I feel, should become a Christian classic in this book.
If you are looking for a feel-good story with a happy ending then this book isn't for you. But if you are looking for a book that tells the hard truths and will inspire you to want to do something for fellow believers, then you should highly consider reading this book.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Beloved Daughter by Alana Terry a 5 Bark rating.
