'Adopted for Life': Free Audiobook

Several folks in The City Church family - & other folks around the country, have become more intrigued by the concept of adoption recently. Whether local, international, foster, or otherwise, it's a great way to live out the work God has done in us: we adopt, because we've been adopted. Personally, Jess and I considered adopting before Charlotte was born, & still plan to pursue adoption as one way of growing our family - either after or interspersed with biological children.


 This entire month, christianaudio.com is giving away FREE downloads of a foundational book in the concept of adoption, Russell Moore's 'Adopted for Life.' From their website:

"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!'" - Galatians 4:4-6 (ESV)

"Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." - James 1:27 (NASB)

Adopted for Life by Dr. Russell Moore is the free audiobook download for February. This audiobook is much more than an instructional how-to of the adoption process. It's also a grand reminder of the theological truths in adoption and the gospel itself.

Special thanks to Crossway for partnering with christianaudio to make this free download available. Crossway is a not-for-profit Christian ministry and exists to proclaim the gospel through publishing and all other means in order, by God's grace, to glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in every way.  
Visit Crossway's website for more information on their ministry.

Read the print book review by Christian blogger, Tim Challies.

Watch an interview with Dr. Moore and blogger, Justin Taylor.

Full disclosure: you do have to give them your email address and a few other bits of info. But that just means you'll be notified of future free audiobooks (recent ones have been great, such as Bridges' The Pursuit of Holiness and Tozer's classic, The Pursuit of God). I downloaded 'Adopted for Life' & look forward to reading it, & strongly encourage you to as well - whether you're involved with, intrigued by, or have never considered adoption, give it a good, prayerful listen.

Download 'Adopted for Life,' FREE, here.
