Book Review: The House of Hope by Elisabeth Gifford

This book got me hooked from the name of the book and the picture on the cover to the book's description.  The Hope Foster Home is a foster home that Robyn and Joyce Hill started so that they could take care of the abandoned orphans in China.  Many of them were medically fragile babies that were abandoned because the child would most likely die without treatment.  In fact, some were left to die and they would have had it not been for Robyn and Joyce following the Lord's leading and taking in these children and doing everything within their power to see that the children lived and even went to their forever homes. 

Throughout the book, they share stories about different children.  They share where they came from, how they came to the Hope Foster Home, what surgeries they needed, how the Lord provided, and in many cases, where they are today.  It was a  book that I couldn't put down because of many reasons.  Adoption and taking care of ophans is very biblical and you can't help but see the love of Christ being played out in the lives of everyone at the House of Hope and the love they have for these children that have been left with no one. 

It hasn't all been easy for Robyn and Joyce.  They've had to sacrifice and fight for where they are now.  They've overcome losses and trials, as well.  But one thing they never doubted: God had a purpose for them in China and He was going to use them to carry it out.

This is a book to be enjoyed by everyone.  It will make you fall in love with the children at Hope Foster Home and you will hop online to join their foundation and to become active with their mission.  I'm sure of it!  Oh, and 100% OF THE PROCEEDS OF THIS BOOK GO TO FUND THE WORK AT HOPE FOSTER HOME.
