The perspective gained when working with God in this way is humbling—we realize anew what it means to be chosen and redeemed.

Adoption and The Gospel delivers sound biblical doctrine that most have never heard. One does not need to be a bible scholar to understand its message! Gerald Clark chronicles his struggle to overcome his traditional image of an orphanage, and how he learned from heart wrenching personal experiences with the children what they so desperately want and need. Six years working with children in an orphanage in the Philippines left Gerald and his wife seeking answers to difficult and very troubling questions. "If God loves me, why am I an orphan?" "If you love me, why don't you adopt me?" I kept asking myself, "What's wrong with this picture?" No matter how much we love and care for children in an orphanage, they're still orphans. What's wrong with the picture is that we simply don't understand that children just don't want to BE orphans. Would we need more orphanages if Adoption was part of the Global Mission Strategy of every evangelical church in the world? Adoption says something about the Gospel and God's love that no other word can say The Gospel is incomplete if it fails to include adoption Jesus came into the world to bring us a living example of God's love, "...so that we might receive the adoption as sons!" Galatians 4:4-5 "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12 The solution to the world's orphan crisis is found in the bible. Adoption Ministry equips the church to accomplish the task, and God has called millions of families around the world who already want to adopt!

Working from within the contours of Christian faith, this book examines the relation between two ways of forming families—through nature (by procreation) and through history (by adoption). Christians honor the biological tie between parents and children, for it is the work of God in creation. Yet Christians cannot forget that it is adoption, and not simply natural descent, that is at the center of the New Testament’s depiction of God’s grace. Gilbert Meilaender takes up a range of issues raised by the practice of adoption, always seeking to do justice to both nature and history in the formation of families, while keeping at the center of our vision the truth that it is not by nature but by grace that we can become adopted children of the one whom Jesus called his Father. Meilaender begins with reflection on the puzzling relation of nature and history in forming families and proceeds to unpack the meaning of huiothesia, the word used in the New Testament to name the grace by which a follower of Jesus becomes an adopted child of God. That perspective is applied to a range of questions that regularly arise in Christian theological discussions of adoption: Is adoption only for the infertile? Should single persons adopt? Is it wise for adoption to take place across racial or national boundaries? Special attention is paid to the relation between adoption and new reproductive technologies and to what is called “embryo adoption.” Interspersed between the chapters are letters written by the author to his own son by adoption. But if the argument of the book is taken seriously, these letters are written not to one who falls within a special category of “adopted son or daughter,” but to one who is, simply and entirely, a son or daughter.

Adoption God's Way is a children's book unlike any other as it lays out God's love for mankind and how He wants us to love Him and love each other by following His truth. This book shares the power found in adoption; one is the earthly adoption of children into families, and the other is heavenly adoption into God's family found only in salvation in Jesus. Every page of this book can be experienced, felt, and understood by the drawings, the message, and the Bible verses on each page. All three join together to tell the life-changing, soul-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ no matter how young or how old the reader. A toddler can understand the pictures, a teen babysitter can grasp the story, and an adult can take hold of the scripture verses that reference each page. This book is meant to share God's love for every single person whom He created in His image on the earth and to explain the fallen state of our world today. The gospel is the redemption option that God offers to any person who wants to receive it. Each page of this book is meant to spark deep, life-impacting conversations. It was created for those who read it to mediate on it because it's important to your eternity. Going to bed thinking about the things of God is what we all should be doing nightly. I hope this becomes a bedtime book that families will pass on to future generations. Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the world on a cross and His story, the story of the world, found in the Holy Bible should be read by all and talked about by all, continually. This book isn't about religion but about entering into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the only way to reach God. There are millions of children's books that fill time and are fun, but this isn't that book. This book is intentional and introspective. The pages explain the importance of adoption both in heaven and on earth because we all are up for adoption since birth. There are two fathers battling for our soul: God the Father and the father of darkness. We are born separated from God in this world, but we each have the opportunity to be adopted into God's heavenly kingdom. Our choices here matter. The posture of our heart matters. We can't earn our way to heaven because we have fallen short of God's perfect standard with our sin. But His Son, Jesus, offered to pay the penalty of our sin for anyone who would receive Him as Lord and Savior. His sinless life is good enough for heaven, and His sacrifice is enough to cover your sins if you receive Him. Salvation changes everything about you from the inside out. It's not a tradition or a checklist. It's a personal relationship with God made through Christ that gives you the ability to turn away from a life of sin and more into a life of sanctification. Adoption God's Way makes you more like Jesus and less like you. It's a choice that lasts forever. This book can't save souls, but Whom this book is about can. This book is meant to lead you to the right Father, to be adopted by Him so you and those you care about can know God's love and freely love Him back both now and forever. Love is an action, not a feeling. Love gave Himself up for us so we could choose to be adopted into His family. The most beautiful gift God ever gave to His human creation was free will. We can freely choose to love Him or not. He's a good Father. He won't force you to love Him back.
