The Greatest Secret: How being God's adopted children changes everything

Description

'This book will make you radically rethink what discipleship looks like' - Rachel and Tim Hughes 'It is refreshing to read a Christian book that is powerful in its vulnerability, rawness, and ultimately, its hope. - Chine McDonald' Theologian Krish Kandiah had been a missionary, a youth worker and a pastor - but for all his Christian qualifications, he found himself lost in his relationship with God. That was until he rediscovered his Christian faith through a simple secret: he was adopted by God. Interweaving his personal story with theological insight, Krish shows us how the doctrine of adoption helps us to understand everything; it gives us purpose and power, perspective and peace. This book is for anyone seeking new depth and intimacy with the God by discovering the greatest secret woven throughout the pages of the whole Bible.

Krish Kandiah is Founder and Director of the adoption and fostering charity Home for Good and an Ambassador for the relief charity Tearfund. He is in demand as a speaker, consultant and social entrepreneur. He lives with his wife and seven children, including fostered and adopted children, in Oxfordshire, UK.

I would say 80 per cent of my pastoral counsel involves reminding Christians they are adopted as God's children. Why? Read this book and find out. Krish Kandiah brilliantly weaves together his own experience of adopting with biblical insight to show how our adoption as God's children changes everything. * Tim Chester * This is Krish as we've come to expect him; inspiring, wise and challenging. But it's also Krish with his guard down, heart out, pain shared, with a backstage pass to the wounds and the wonder surrounding adoption. Krish helps us see what he's been discovering - that God wants us, loves us, adopts us and draws us into his heart and home, for good. Grasping this secret will change everything. Reading this book will too! * Rachel Gardner, President of Girls' Bridage * Not just 'an interesting biblical theme' but a life-changing truth that takes us into the heart of the gospel; beautifully explained and explored from Krish's own experience. * Paul Harcourt, National Leader of New Wine * a moving book * Life & Work *
