Book Description
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.

Reclaiming Adoption
Author: Dan Cruver
Publisher: Cruciform Press
ISBN: 1936760053
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Delight in God's delight in you. One of the ambitious dreams that Reclaiming Adoption and its authors share with the Apostle Paul is that when Christians hear the word adoption, they will think first about their adoption by God. This book is premised on the belief that behind the Parable of the Prodigal Son(s) is Scripture's teaching on adoption. The story of the Bible is that God the Father sent his only true and eternal Son on a mission, and that mission was to bring many wayward and rebellious sons home to glory (Hebrews 2:10) in order to adopt them into his family. That is the Story behind the story of the Prodigal Sons. If Christians learn to first think about their adoption by God, and only then about the adoption of children, they will enjoy deeper communion with the God who is love, and experience greater missional engagement with the pain and suffering of this world. Reclaiming Adoption can transform the way you view and live in this world for the glory of God and the good of our world's most needy.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.
