Abba, Father! Of all the pictures the Lord uses to describe His relationship with believers, that of a loving father to adopted children is perhaps the most tender. As the body of Christ observes families who have lovingly welcomed adopted children into their midst, we gain a greater appreciation of our own adoption into the family of God.Exploring what Scripture says about adoption and the value of children, Michelle Gardner demonstrates that adoption can be God’s first choice for some lives. Weaving her own children’s heartwarming adoption stories throughout the book, Michelle presents a new challenge for believers to do something drastic for a child.Adoption as a Ministry, Adoption as a Blessing explores: - what the Bible says about ministering to children in need of families- how the church can minister to adoptive families- whether it is right to spend a great deal of money on one child’s adoption- whether domestic or international adoptions are more worthy- the blessings of adoptionIf you are touched by adoption in any way, this book will give you a new perspective on the Biblical significance of this unique relationship.Michelle Gardner, the Director of Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries, is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College.
