Synopsis

The gospel of Jesus Christ—the good news that through Jesus we have been adopted as sons and daughters into God’s family—means that Christians ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans in North America and around the world. Russell D. Moore does not shy away from this call in Adopted for Life, a popular-level, practical manifesto for Christians to adopt children and to help equip other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who want children—or who want more children. It is about an entire culture within the church, a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

So, being the one who wishes to adopt children, I got this (well, technically, my fiance bought it for me, but who's counting?). Let me start off by......more

This is, quite possibly, the best book I have ever read. If you are single, read it. If you are married, read it. If you are engaged, read it. If you have children, read it. If you do not have children, read it. This book takes the reader on a journey through the emotional, spiritual, and theologica......more
