Adopted

From the back cover

You did not sneak into the family of God. You were adopted into it.

When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He did not start with a request. He started with a relationship: Our Father. Two words that tell you who you are before you ask for anything.

Most Christians know they are forgiven. Far fewer know they are family. They keep praying like beggars at the gate when the Father has already set them a place at the table. Adopted walks you through the Lord’s Prayer line by line and shows you four things every child of God needs to settle: your position in the family, your rights as a member of it, your obligations to it, and how money works inside it. Along the way it opens up the Kingdom your Father runs, what it means to be a king and a priest, and what changes when God is not just above you but with you.

Written by a pastor of more than thirty years, with a foreword by Layne Schranz, Executive Pastor of Church of the Highlands, in the plain language of a Sunday morning, each chapter closes with reflection questions, a prayer, and a set of faith confessions you can say over your own life. A small group study guide is included.

Stop earning what is already yours. Take your place.
