No Higher Call by
author Bradford Smith is quite a powerful little book with a lot of truth in
it. This book mainly deals with adoption
and fostering, but ultimately on the whole for the church to take care of the
orphan. This book has given me a lot to
think about and to ponder on for a while.
The message here is scriptural and is worth a read even if you are never
going to adopt. Here are some of the
things that stood out to me:
-God is not worried about our happiness, but our holiness
-Christians are called to be holy
-Like with Moses and his staff, God has already equipped us
with what we need to carry out his will
This book mentions the great missionary father, William
Carey, and his call for missions when the rest of the Christians did not
believe that was their duty. So
likewise, Mr. Smith calls on the church not to forget the orphan. He also exhorts fathers to father their
children, stating how very important a father is to the life of a child. I encourage many to read this passionately written
book. I received a copy of this book for
an honest review from The Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own.
