Review: Adopted for Life

I loved this book because it is written for every believer, not just those thinking about adoption.  Russell and his wife Maria do have 2 adopted sons, but Russell's passion is for the church to see that orphan care is a call on every Christian's life.  He speaks to individuals, families, pastors and churches as he urges each group to pray about how God wants each one to be concerned with the "littlest of these".  Russell backs up every point he makes with Scripture references, which I greatly appreciate; his ideas aren't from a man, but from the Lord.

Oh, and for all my hardcore Southern Baptist family and friends out there, former president of the IMB Jerry Rankin is a proponent of this book.  Also, Russell is a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.  :)
