Pre-publication excerpt of Michael Reagan's TWICE ADOPTED released
In advance of the October 2004 publication of Twice Adopted by Michael Reagan and Jim Denney, Broadman & Holman issued a short excerpt from the book that included Reagan’s moving introduction. Reagan's life is a testimony of how God allowed him to find healing. His first adoption gave him an identity as the child of two loving parents here on earth, but he did not find his true identity until he found a relationship with God. "All the things that are wrong with America today come down to a failure of love," says Reagan. "The solution to every problem that afflicts us is love -- God's love, authentically lived out and demonstrated to the world in the lives of those who claim to be His people.”
