Adopted For Life - A Review


Tim Challies:
When watching sports you sometimes hear a coach tell his players to "leave it all on the field (or on the court or on the diamond)." This coach expects his players to give it their best effort, to walk into the locker room at the end of the day knowing that they could not have done any better. And I really felt this is what Moore did here; I felt like he put a lot of himself into this book, that it took a lot out of him to write it, and that it really does represent a passionate effort on his part. And it shows. The book perfectly combines the theological foundation with the practical outworking of that theology. It has wisdom for the adopter, the adopted and the families, friends and churches of both. It is undoubtedly one of the best books I've read this year. I hope you'll consider reading it too.
Read the whole thing.

Buy this very important book here.

I must say, I am impressed (and encouraged!!) with the diversity of people, within Christianity, who are recommending this book. Any book that can be endorsed by both Dan Kimball *and* John MacArthur is one which would probably be good for the *whole* church (universal and local) to read.

I'm not a father, and I'm not even married or currently in a courtship, but I plan to read this book-- and read it carefully and thoughtfully, expecting to be challenged and moved to positive change in my thinking, praying and living.
