A stirring call to Christian families and churches to be apeople who care for orphans, not just in word, but indeed.
The gospel of Jesus Christ-the good news that through Jesus wehave been adopted as sons and daughters into God's family-meansthat Christians ought to be at the forefront of the adoption oforphans in North America and around the world.
Russell D. Moore does not shy away from this call in Adoptedfor Life, a popular-level, practical manifesto for Christiansto adopt children and to help equip other Christian families to dothe same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who wantchildren-or who want more children. It is about an entire culturewithin evangelicalism, a culture that sees adoption as part of theGreat Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.
Moore, who adopted two boys from Russia and has spoken widely onthe subject, writes for couples considering adoption, families whohave adopted children, and pastors who wish to encourageadoption.
