Strikingly Transparent Prose, Adoption and Grace

Writing in simple, strikingly transparent prose, Mitchell lays bare the wounds created
by repeated abandonment and rejection by his family. His would be a truly heart-
rending story were it not for an adoption that came once his childhood years were
passed.
Mitchell was adopted into the family of God, accepting the Father’s promise to be
home for him; to provide him with a never-faltering source of love, stability, and
identity. Guided by His spirit through the process of deep forgiveness for those who
forsook him, Mitchell was able to move forward into a new life including a wife and
children as he learned to trust and love.
Coming from an orphanage with dismal outcomes for its long term residents,
Mitchell’s life stands out as wildly successful. A college graduate and participant in
international missions, Mitchell is now a well established financial consultant and
motivational speaker.
I rejoice for the work that God has done in the author’s life. Thankfully everyone can
experience the personal love of the creator of the universe, whether orphaned,
empty or confused. Gods’ free grace available to all comers.
The story of Mitchell’s life brings the emotional desolation (orphans around the
world) experience into sharp focus and embodies the spirit of adoption that God
longs to engender in his followers. While Mitchell may be one of the last “lifers” from
the American adoption system, we should remember the children waiting for families
in foster homes and orphanages worldwide.
