Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches
Russell Moore
Crossway, 2015
256 pages
Why would I take a stranger into my family and make him my own son? Why would God? Intertwining scripturally rich exposition of the doctrine of adoption with poignant anecdotes from his own family’s adoption, Russell D. Moore invites us to examine these questions in the light of the gospel. Readers will see the glorious opportunity to bear our Father’s image and become parents to the fatherless, and learn to cry with deepened joy, “Abba! Father!” Few books have stirred my heart and mind like <em>Adopted for Life</em>, and I commend it to all who have been adopted into God’s family through Christ.
