I highly recommend Ken Wootton's book Adopted: Taking Your Place in the Family of God. I have found this book very clearly presents the assumed blessings of being a member of God's family but also the obligations. It has challenged me in how I think about my personal faith, but more importantly in believing in Jesus Christ as my saviour and in the treasures that I am guaranteed. It is exceptionally well written by a man with a lot of knowledge and experience and one whom I am proud to call a dear friend and family member.

My friend Pastor Ken Wootton has spent his life helping people discover who they are, where they belong, and the part God has called them to play in His Kingdom. That's one of the reasons Ken and I share such a deep passion for the truth of Kings & Priests: that every believer has a calling, a place, and a purpose in advancing the Kingdom of God. Adopted: Taking Your Place in the Family of God captures that beautifully. Ken reminds us that we aren't outsiders trying to earn our way in; we are sons and daughters who have been given a seat at the Father's table and entrusted with His Kingdom work. I believe this book will help people take their place and live with a greater confidence in who God created them to be.

There is no version of the man I am today without Ken and Moira Wootton. When I was fifteen, they saw me, not first as a future leader, school founder or church planter, but as a son of the Most High God. They believed that truth about me until I could finally see it for myself. I watched them live this message. I watched Ken love Moira when no one was watching. I watched a highly skilled man walk away from a wealthy future and stand on scaffolding at five in the morning painting a church roof because the call of God mattered more than comfort or status. That was a dangerous man: one whose identity was not for sale. Ken and Moira helped me understand that I was not an employee trying to earn the Father's approval, a tenant afraid the lease might not be renewed, or an orphan fending for myself in a house that had a Father. I was a son. And I took my place. From that place came the courage to establish The International School of Switzerland and begin a church in the heart of Switzerland. Adopted is not simply a message Ken has written. It is a life Ken and Moira have lived. They invested in a fifteen-year-old boy before there was any visible return. I know this message works because my life is part of the harvest.

I have known Ken and Moira Wootton for many years and have had the privilege of walking beside them as a coach in their journey at Highlands. During that time, Ken and I have discussed many of the themes in Adopted: Taking Your Place in the Family of God. Now that they have put many of those thoughts down on paper, we have a book that should be read by everyone who is a disciple of Jesus Christ. It should be a must-read for everyone who has had a first-time encounter with Jesus. It is exceptionally well written and at the same time very readable. Well done, Ken and Moira. This book is an important contribution to the mission we are to outwork for our Saviour.
