Book Review: Twenty Choices But God is One of Them
Summary: 3 Stars
Eldridge succeeds at presenting the unique issues related to adoptees. Without lessening the valuable, honest experiences of adoptees captured by Eldridge in her book, I found the constant reference to biblical sources, and 'God' related advice rather disturbing, and detrimental to my confidence in her methods. At the end of each chapter, Eldridge presents a 'choice' to adoptees for ways to move forward given the emotional issue of each chapter. In Chapter 18, 'The Silver Lining in the Cloud of Rejection', Eldridge offers the following 'choice' to adoptees standing under the 'dark cloud of rejection'--'To focus on God's promises to provide for us as orphans'. This is where the book lost me, and ultimately drove me to write this review, wondering if there are not secular solutions to these issues that are equally valuable? They are not represented in this book. Maybe a 'religion' label on the book would have been helpful. There is not a single mention of the Christian slant anywhere on its jacket etc.
