{"product_id":"the-spirit-of-adoption-melanie-springer-mock-9781498222112","title":"The Spirit of Adoption: Writers on Religion, Adoption, Faith, and More","description":"The Spirit of Adoption explores many of the complexities inherent in adoption and its relationship to spirituality, challenging us to move beyond the common mythologies about adoption to consider the more difficult questions adoption raises about the nature of God, family, culture, loss, and joy. Rather than hearing from experts in adoption, this collection uses the narratives of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees themselves, bearing witness to the ways adoption shapes its participants' spiritual lives. By allowing others to narrate their spiritual journeys through adoption, we hope to proclaim that adoption can be a wonderful, powerful, hopeful experience, and one that is difficult, painful, despairing--and that these paradoxes of adoption might be held together in God's hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Springer Mock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498222110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498222112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Melanie Springer Mock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453710807295,"sku":"9781498222112","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67f4d2bc-8aee-4c5a-a3a1-6897b2100bab.jpg?v=1777301825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-adoption-melanie-springer-mock-9781498222112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
