Robin and Joyce Hill lived in a gated community in Beijing. Their family's life was marked by luxury and the security of Robin's job as an engineer. Then one day, as members of their church, they had a chance to tour a state-run orphanage. Haunted by the needs of the children they saw there, for the next four years they tried to help the institute in meaningful ways.
I volunteered to read The House of Hope because of my
interest in China and adoption. I was surprised to find an emotional and
uplifting story worthy of a movie screenplay.
I can honestly say this book was gripping. Everything from
the bits of personal information they share, to the individual stories of the
children, to how God leads and grows the ministry is really amazing. I think I
ended up reading it in just two or three days because I wanted to see what was
going to happen. It sounds funny to write that about a true story but it's true!
I strongly
recommend you purchase a copy of this terrific book, especially since all proceeds
are going to help the Hills work.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
