From Orphans to Heirs [Paperback]

Mark Stibbe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 18, 2005

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. This title explores this image of adoption, much neglected as a way of understanding our salvation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This book arises out of teaching that I heard Mark give at St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood. It is a truly life-changing message. As one of those greatly helped by this teaching, I can unreservedly recommend this book. It is destined to become a spiritual classic for the 21st-century church. J John If ever there was a book for our times, this is it! The great biblical truth of our adoption as God's children is here brought to light. From Orphans to Heirs is full of insights which inform the mind and warm the heart - a must for this fatherless generation. Mike Pilavachi "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."

5.0 out of 5 stars My inheritance revealed, November 13, 2011

Mark Stibbe was instrumental in changing my life through his book "FROM ORPHANS TO HEIRS" by helping God heal my orphan heart. This book has had a major impacted on my life, my ministry, my preaching, my teaching, and my relationship with the Father.

I have always believed that our lineage as a world is traceable back to Adam and Eve and that we are sons and daughters of God the Father. We need to know who we are in God the Father's eyes. "FROM ORPHANS TO HEIRS" changed my image of God and the image of myself. I now knew that He was my Father and that I was His son in whom He is well pleased.

My ministry is to lead people to intimacy with the Fathering heart of God through His love. I now see more clearly that our mission is all encompassing of all people on this earth because God so loved the world...not Americans, not Jews, not Christians, but everyone. Let me state that more emphatically--EVERYONE.

We all need to be lovers of the Father. Instead of talking about doctrine, dogma, morality, politics, etc., let's instead talk about the Father's love and experience the Father's embrace.

I highly recommend this book "FROM ORPHANS TO HEIRS" to begin your journey to wholeness and to discover your true identity.
