David Platt on Adopted for Life

Tweet Share

“Yes, yes, yes! Russell Moore has given the church a God-centered, Gospel-saturated, culturally-sensitive, mission-focused, desperately needed exploration of the priority and privilege of adoption. He exposes misconceptions and uncovers misunderstandings which not only keep us from fostering an adoptive culture in our churches, but which keep us from truly understanding the Gospel by which we are adopted as sons and daughters of God. This book contains encouragement for children who have been adopted and the parents who’ve adopted them, practical advice for parents who are considering adoption and parents who have never considered adoption, and admonishment for the church-at-large to consider how to be obedient to Scriptural commands to care for orphans here and around the world. Readers will find themselves laughing on one page, crying on the next, and ultimately bowing before God, thanking Him for adopting them into His heavenly family and considering how to show His love to the fatherless on earth.”

David Platt, Pastor, Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, Alabama

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
