Book Info
About the book: The global orphan crisis is complex. The church's response should be comprehensive, but is it? In this provocative follow-up toOrphanology, author Rick Morton provides the framework for families and churches to have a gospel-centered response to the growing global issue of orphan care.
KnowOrphans addresses three distinct areas associated with global orphanology. Delving deeper into the criticisms of the movement, the need for reform, and what families can expect, author Rick Morton helps shape realistic perceptions of the challenges and rewards adoptive parents face in transnational adoptions. Through illuminating the work internationally adoptive families can expect, KnowOrphansoffers solutions for the church in remedying the ills and deficiencies surrounding the church's role in equipping and supporting families before, during, and after the adoption process. Knowing that the church's response and attitude should be one that goes beyond adoption, KnowOrphansalso addresses the complexities of how Christians are to respond ethically, compassionately, and comprehensively to the biblical call to care for orphans.
KnowOrphans is the next step in conversation as this evangelically based movement of orphan care matures and begins to live out James 1:27 globally.

My Review:
This was a beautiful story about how love and faith can help there be less orphans, and hopefully eventually, if we all do our part, there will be more orphans. There are so many people in the world that want kids and can't have any, and in reverse there are so many people that do not want theirs. It is about time that someone stood up for this issue and is trying to help. The children are innocent and some are thrown into bad situations. I am so happy that he broke the book into parts. Startin with how to incorporate this movement into your church. This is a great book for everyone to know about. I recommend that everyone read it as well. My favorite part was when the families came home. Together. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Litfuse, however all opinions are my own.
