Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches (Updated and Expanded Edition) - Paperback

by Russell Moore (Author)

The doctrine of adoption--God's decision to adopt sinful men and women into his family--stands at the heart of Christianity. In light of this, Christians' efforts to adopt beautifully illustrate the truth of the gospel. In this popular-level and practical manifesto, Russell Moore encourages Christians to adopt children and to help other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who have struggled to have children. Rather, it's about an entire culture within evangelicalism--a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

• Features a redesigned cover and brand new content
• Written by a well respected evangelical voice who has been at the forefront of adoption advocacy for years
• Not only practical and visionary, but gospel-centered and theologically robust
• Written for those who are interested in adoption
