I Call You Mine: Embracing God's Gift of Adoption (A Six-Week Study) by Kim de Blecourt



From the publisher:
I Call You Mine is a six-week study focused on revealing the incredible spiritual insights available to those who embrace God's heart of adoption. Just as Jesus used stories to engage and teach, the Scripture passages and personal stories in this study uncover greater truths about adoption as God s children. Caring for the unwanted is a privilege, and the perspective gained when working with God in this way is humbling. Realize anew what it means to be chosen and redeemed.

I was so excited when I heard about this six week study.  As an adoptive parent I have read books deciding to adopt, books on connections, and brain development.  But I have not read a book like this.  I love that it takes an adoptive parent (or anyone interested in adoption) through different weeks that really can open up the readers eyes to think about adoption differently as well as how we see God.  

There is a lot of beauty in adoption, and Kim shares about that. There is also a lot of hard and broken, and Kim also shares about that.  But the whole time each study has Bible verses to study and see what God and His Word says about these situations.  

I can see this book as a gift for those thinking about adoption, beginning adoption, or home with their child.  No matter where you are this study will open your eyes to what God says about caring for the vulnerable.  I love the last week where Kim delves into the ministry of caring for orphans.  Such a powerful study on how we are all called to do something.  

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
