Adoption : What Joseph of Nazareth Can Teach Us about This Countercultural Choice

Joseph of Nazareth was a good and honorable man. The adoptive father of Jesus, he stood by his wife and raised her son—even when it appeared that she had betrayed him. Such is the love of adoption. But this love stands in stark contrast to what we see in our world today: on-demand abortion, unreported abuse, and widespread neglect. Adapted from Russell Moore's influential book Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches, this short volume calls Christians to seriously consider adoption for their own families and thus take a stand for children—born and unborn. Looking to Joseph's adoption of Jesus as a model, this short book encourages readers to view adoption as a way to protect children--born and unborn--from the injustices of abortion, abuse, and neglect.
