"In this 'pastoral epistle, ' Mike Milton takes us on a genetic journey through Scripture, exploring the familial DNA of the gospel. By the grace of God in Jesus Christ his Son, believers are no paupers in God's kingdom. We are God's sons and daughters, handpicked and irrevocably loved. With a shepherd's staff and a theologian's trowel, Milton unearths riveting pastoral riches of this highest gospel privilege - adoption in the family of the God of the universe. Take and read. Stop and consider. Ponder and rejoice. We are really and truly the children of the heavenly Father." David B. Garner, Westminster Theological Seminary
