The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches

Adopted for Life

Russell Moore

In this practical book, Moore highlights the importance of adoption for all Christians, encouraging readers to lead the way in adoption and orphan advocacy out of our identity as adopted children of God.

I'm glad I read this book as it has been very helpful for me as my wife and I talk about the possibility of adopting. I loved how Moore emphasized the inextricable relationship between physical/legal adoption and our adoption into God's family in salvation. However, Dr. Moore is quite a conservative theologian and I took issue with several of his theological emphases (his complementarianism/hierarchalism, ecclesiology, and especially what I thought was an over-emphasis on hell and penal substitutionary atonement theory). This being said, I am grateful for Moore's ministry and this book.
