From Orphans to Heirs

The key to our liberation as Christians is the biblical image of spiritual adoption. So often we continue to live as spiritual orphans, forgetting that thanks to the saving work of Jesus we have been made sons and daughters of God. From Orphans to Heirs explores this image of adoption, much neglected as a way of understanding our salvation, yet crucial in an age when so many people are searching for intimacy. Mark Stibbe also shares his own story of growing up as an adopted child and the insights his experiences gave him into the heart of God, our adopting Father.

Mark Stibbe is Vicar of St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood, one of the UK's centres of charismatic renewal. While he has written many books, From Orphans to Heirs represents his own life's message. He is one of the world's leading preachers of the message of the Father's love. This book has helped thousands of people all over the world to experience the Father's embrace.

"I had the privilege of transcribing the Daisy version of this book for Torch Trust for the Blind.

I was greatly impressed by Mark Stibbe's ability to take those of us without first hand personal experience of successful legal adoption (the majority of us I would imagine) along his deeply satisfying personal journey.

The book achieved its stated purpose for me and made me very aware of how marvellous is our inheritance, as Christian believers, in our adoption as children of the Living God.

This book is well worth carefully reading."
