review 1: I found much of this book to be sermon-like, which was fine but not what I expected. I really enjoyed reading personal adoption stories and stories of how orphans lives were changed. Coming from a small church, I feel it would be very difficult to implement many of the ideas in this book. $10,000 may not seem like a lot to some churches, but it is a seemingly impossible amount in a church of 100 people. Much of the book was directed toward pastors and leaders asking them to change the climate around orphan care by making it a priority. I did find this book hopeful. It was wonderful to read about how the Church is sharing God's love with orphans around the world. Our family has been interested in domestic adoption, but after reading this I feel that we might need to ... moreexplore international adoption further.
review 2: Don’t let the title make you think this is an academic work. This is an innovative work. This is about how it’s done, not platitudes. You want to know what you can do in orphan care and adoption? How to get started? Your churches role? This is that book.As of 2013, the church has a greater awareness for the vast number of orphans that exist but it sometimes ends at awareness. Read this book and ask yourself; can I serve in one of these ministries? Should I move forward with adoption? Don’t wait, act now! Listen to Merida and Morton. Say, “today is the day that I put in that application for adoption or foster care, that I go on that mission trip, that I meet with a friends in church and start that hosting ministry, that I help fund an anti-trafficking organization. The only revision I might suggest is identifying themselves when speaking in the first person. I wasn’t sure which author spoke at certain points.Thank you Tony Merida and Rick Morton for this book and serving the orphan.Darren SappGhana Christian Alliance for Orphans less
