The gospel of Jesus Christ—the good
news that through Jesus we have been
adopted as sons and daughters into
God’s family—means that Christians
ought to be at the forefront of the
adoption of orphans in North America
and around the world.
Russell D. Moore does not shy away from
this call in Adopted for Life, a
popular-level, practical manifesto for
Christians to adopt children and to
help equip other Christian families to
do the same. He shows that adoption is
not just about couples who want
children—or who want more children. It
is about an entire culture within the
church, a culture that sees adoption as
part of the Great Commission mandate
and as a sign of the gospel itself.
Moore, who adopted two boys from Russia
and has spoken widely on the subject,
writes for couples considering
adoption, families who have adopted
children, and pastors who wish to
encourage adoption.
