Short and to the point, and pretty good. The structure of the book surprised me, as I expected to see more on our acts of adopting and the first three quarters or so is much more focused on framing a theology of adoption, with the focus on God's adopting us. That's important, so I'm glad it was there; it just wasn't how I expected the book to go.
The authors do a wonderful job at exploring the theology behind the believer's adoption into God's family. I recommend this book as a way to understanding what it means to be adopted into the Kingdom and then define what that means in our day to day life. The book as a whole was great, but John Piper's ending chapter made the read. He pulls all the heady doctrine and theological, nicely into the practical.
A very encouraging and convicting study of our adoption as children of God and how that should change how we live. A good study of the concept of adoption, why it is important that we truly understand it, and how that affects us and the way we live our lives.
“One way to look at adoption is to see it as God’s work to free us from the insanity and duplicity of our idolatry.” p 21
The last two chapters then take that into the realm of horizontal adoption - orphan care as a mission of the church.… (mais)

A nossa adoção por Deus é, muitas vezes, algo difícil de compreendermos. Contudo, não se trata apenas de um conceito teológico que devemos entender intelectualmente. Este livro nos mostra que ela deve nos levar a um viver missional, a viver a missão de Cristo, amando os órfãos, as viúvas e os desamparados deste mundo. "Nós amamos porque ele nos amou primeiro" (1Jo 4.19).
Organizada por Dan Cruver e com a participação dos autores John Piper, Scotty Smith, Richard D. Phillips e Jason Kovacs esta obra vai certamente ajudar o leitor a compreender o maravilhoso amor adotivo de Deus.… (mais)
