Book Review: The Beloved Daughter by Alana Terry (Plus: Giveaways!!)

My Review:

Wow. Powerful. Moving. Heart-wrenching. Eye-Opening. Educational. Beyond Suspenseful. Must Share!

These are just a few of the words and phrases that come to mind when I think of this book. To say it was suspenseful would be an understatement. Truly a book I could not put down until I was finished.

I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in opening up their worldview and understanding what's really going on in the world around us. The story was so compelling - it felt as if the author, Alana Terry, must be writing a memoir.

Have you felt your heart hurt for those facing persecution but felt you could never fully comprehend it? Yet you desperately wanted to understand and know how to pray? Look no further. This is a strong voice for the persecuted church and a great educational resource for anyone willing to open their hearts and minds.

If you do have a heart for the persecuted church, take time to learn more about, The Voice of the Martyrs. It's a wonderful organization who puts a voice, face and name to those standing for their faith around the world. They not only tell their stories, but they support them in a variety of ways.

The Beloved Daughter, an inspirational suspense novel by award-winning author Alana Terry, is a story of persecution and triumph set in the oppressive North Korean regime. The audiobook version of Alana's bestselling debut novel is narrated by Kathy Garver, a four-time Audie award winner and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the Motion Picture Council. (You might also recognize Kathy as Cissy from the TV show Family Affair.)

Listen to a sample of Kathy reading from The Beloved Daughter.

The Beloved Daughter

Synopsis: In a small North Korean village, a young girl struggles to survive. It is her father's faith, not the famine of North Hamyong Province, that most threatens Chung-Cha's well-being. The Beloved Daughter follows Chung-Cha into one of the most notorious prison camps the contemporary free world has known. Her crime? Being the daughter of a Christian.
