More memoir than biblical teaching, which is more what I expected. I appreciated the many parallels between Landry's story and the heritage we have as Christians.

The title itself is what drew me in, and I ended up buying a physical copy to keep on hand. This book, in my opinion, is almost split into two parts. The author himself is adopted and he likened Christianity and the Jewish faith as adoption. Christianity has Jewish roots, but years after Christ's ascension, it was adopted by the Greco-Roman empire, and in it's distinct ways has become Westernized, drifting from it's Jewish roots. Curtis shares his own story of adoption and how understanding his roots, where he truly came from biologically, had a massive part in understanding his own identity and purpose. For Christianity, he stressed that it is vitally important we understand the Jewish faith in order to truly understand what it means to be a Christian, to understand our identity as adopted children of God, and even Scripture. The second part of the book is where Curtis focuses more on the different aspects of our heritage as believers: knowing what it means to be Jewish, God's covenants from the Old Testament, the New Testament church, the grafting of Gentiles (non-Jews) into the faith, etc.
I really enjoyed this one. I felt there was a ton of apologetics and theology in this that was made more clear, and I certainly loved that he specifically pointed out the importance and still relevance of the Old Testament law. This is definitely a book I plan on keeping on hand and going back to over and over again. The Scriptural foundation to this book is completely solid, and I love that he uses the original words used (the Hebrew of the OT, Greek or Aramaic of NT), explaining some of the verses in their truest context. I highly recommend this for all believers, especially those who really want to know the foundations of the Christian faith as well as our connection to Judaism.
