The church should think differently about adoption than the world does. The world sees adoption as a charity. The church needs to understand that adoption is much more than charity, adoption is war. Jason Meyer offers a helpful assessment of Russell Moore’s, Adopted for Life, as he shares how this book is informative, inspiring, and pastoral, and why all three of these qualities are so essential.
Here are a few points from his review at Café Apocalypsis:
“The personal touches drawn from Russell Moore’s adoption story gives the book a narrative dimension like a page turning novel that you can’t put down. It is also inspiring to see this personal story in light of God’s overarching story of redemption. Awareness of how God’s story of redemption intersects with adoption creates a feeling of connectedness to God’s cosmic purposes in Christ.”
“In the end, I must confess that I love the relentless, unswerving way in which Russell Moore drives home the indissoluble link between the gospel and adoption.”
“This book is an informed celebration of the gospel and adoption and a rallying cry for their advancement in our day. Let the church say “amen” and show our “amen” by action.”
