Christian Love Produces Lasting Blessings for Adoptive Families



The process of adoption can be as bittersweet and surprising as the fruit of the persimmon. When the adoptee is prepared and integrated into his or her new family, the fit can be very comfortable when sweetened with Christian love. Persimmon Days (paperback, 978-1-60477-937-0) shows how Christian living produces lasting blessings for adoptive parents and their specially chosen children. This book reveals the bewilderment of unexpected transitions when children are placed for adoption without preparation, knowledge, or consent, and it encourages understanding of the anxieties and adjustments an adopted child feels when placed in an entirely new home and family. Persimmon Days provides timely and caring guidance to adoptive parents, their children, and to those who work in the field of Christian adoption services.

The positive, true adoption story in this book reveals that all parties involved, including the birth mother, benefit when both familial and Christian love are displayed. As Mock explains, "This is the gentle memoir of the feelings and thoughts of a transplanted child who gains confidence as she grows in family security and faith, and it shows how adoption can be right and rewarding for each one involved in creating this unique and special family setting."

B.J. Mock served many years as an international adoptions worker placing many children in Christian homes. Along with her husband and four children, she spent a year as a missionary writer/producer for HCJB in Quito, Ecuador. She felt so challenged by the human needs surrounding her there that she returned to the U.S. to obtain a degree as a social worker. Mock is also a licensed minister with the Church of the Nazarene.

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 5,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Persimmon Days through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
