The Greatest Secret: How being God's adopted children changes everything

by Krish Kandiah

Theologian Krish Kandiah had been a missionary, a youth worker and a pastor - but for all his Christian qualifications, he found himself lost in his relationship with God.

That was until he rediscovered his Christian faith through a simple secret: he was adopted by God.

Interweaving his personal story with theological insight, Krish shows us how the doctrine of adoption helps us to understand everything; it gives us purpose and power, perspective and peace.

This book is for anyone seeking new depth and intimacy with the God by discovering the greatest secret woven throughout the pages of the whole Bible.

Reviews

[David Meldrum · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent and highly readable account of how a fuller understanding of the Bible's theme of adoption transforms our understanding of many key areas of our discipleship. It's deeply personal, and one of those books to read and reread as we mine the riches it offers.

[Jonathan Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE this book. It is about 2 of my favourite and most precious topics. 1: the gospel. 2: adoption. Weaving his personal experiences and biblical insights into his typically Kandiah way, this book gets you excited both about the gospel and adoption.
Every Christian should read this.
Every adopter should read it too.
Brilliant.

Profound & Poetic

Kandiah writes with so much authenticity and authority, it is hard not to be moved and motivated at the same time. So blessed by it! Thank you.
