Reclaiming Adoption - My Endorsement

I had the privilege of reading & endorsing Reclaiming Adoption ($5.99 on Kindle!) by Dan Cruver (also contributions by John Piper, Richard D. Phillips, Scotty Smith, and Jason Kovacs). My endorsement...

I’m excited to share this book with those interested in or involved with earthly adoption. But Reclaiming Adoption deserves a much wider audience. This is a book about the Gospel, about our heavenly Father’s love for us and our adoption by Him. It’s a book about responding to our adoption by joining God’s mission to spread His love. Read it. It just may change the way you think of earthly adoption. It just may change the way you think of God’s love.

Heartily recommend it. Read more about Reclaiming Adoption.
