Adopted: God's "Plan A"

by Aaron N. Hartman

Overview

Many people view adoption only as an alternative to building their family if unable to do so naturally. It is often seen as "Plan B." Due to the fear of the unknown that comes with adopting a child, desperate couples resort to adoption only as the last resort.

Yet adoption is how God has chosen to make His own heavenly family. In ADOPTED: GOD'S PLAN A, Dr. Hartman makes a compelling case that, in fact, our adoption by God was His sovereign plan from the beginning. As those adopted by the Father, our care for and adoption of the fatherless is perfectly in line with the heart of our Father. The call of James 1:27 is for those who have been redeemed and adopted by the Father to reflect His image through orphan care.

The Call of Adoption is Gospel Centered, Grace Driven and God Glorifying

Editorial Reviews

�Dr. Hartman has given us a book that is�both inspiring and instructional. He is able to sandwich rich theological material in between slices of life that are compelling and thoughtful. Indeed, the blessed love of adoption ought to be a daily theme for every Christian.� �President, Reformed Theological Seminary, Virtual Campus Charlotte, NC

Book Endorsement - Andrew J. Peterson, PhD

"John Piper has said, �Adoption is greater than the universe,� yet it remains an underdeveloped doctrine within the Church. The Church needs Aaron's book, because it needs to unlock the riches of the doctrine of adoption.� �Together for Adoption; author, Reclaiming Adoption

Book Endorsement - Dan Cruvuer

�This book has implications that could radically alter modern American culture! The theology is airtight and the perspective is poignant, clear, and so very personal.� �The Crossing Church, Tampa, FL
