Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"Adopted for Life is a well-written rooting of adoption in biblical theology. Moore, who weaves in the story of the two Russian children he and his wife have adopted, shows how churches should view adoption as part of their mission. He shows what a difference it would make if Christians were known once again as the people who take in orphans and make them sons and daughters." (Marvin Olasky, Editor-in-Chief, World; Provost, The King's College, New York City)

So much truth

I have been recommending this book to every Christian I know. This book is so eye opening, has so many teachable and convicting words it should be read by everyone. If you've never thought of adoption or if you are thinking about it, please read this.

What an incredible book!

As a prospective adopting parent this book has been incredibly thought provoking! As a lover of Jesus it has stirred my heart towards the plight of orphans all over the word in unimaginable ways. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough!

Fantastic book, filled with wisdom and inspirations

I read this book as a wife and mother who is starting the adoption through foster care journey. My husband and I already feel this calling, but through the scripture and insights shared in this book; I know now, that God’s plan truly calls us all to adoption in one way or another. The wisdom and experiences shared will allow my family to better serve our beautiful child to come. God bless you on your journey!

Thought Provoking and Christ Centered

Grateful God directed me to this book as I study and prepare my heart and home for an adopted family. Grateful as well that this book pointed out the adoptive nature of the Church, not just what we are taught in our culture. I personally will be listening to this book a few times over again as it is so densely packed with scripture and messages that even rival a college course in the subject. Will be buying a physical copy for my family who prefer reading than listening. I'd encourage someone thinking about adoption and those who are even opposed to listen and really prayer what the Lord's opinion is on the matter. I know I have and will do so for the future Lord has before me and my family.

Great book

Like a text book for Christians on the importance of adoption. Hits tons of different angles on adoption. If you are a Christian debating on whether or not you should adopt.... read this book. If you want to understand why Christians adopt... read this book.
