The Position

From the bestselling author of The Wife—Meg Wolitzer’s “hilariously moving, sharply written novel” (USA TODAY), hailed by critics and loved by readers worldwide, with its “dead-on observations about sex, marriage, and the family ties that strangle and bind” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Crackling with intelligence and humor, The Position is the masterful story of one extraordinary family at the hilarious height of the sexual revolution—and through the thirty-year hangover that followed. In 1975, Paul and Roz Mellow write a bestselling Joy of Sex-type book that mortifies their four school-aged children and ultimately changes the shape of the family forever. Thirty years later, as the now dispersed family members argue over whether to reissue the book, we follow the complicated lives of each of the grown children and their conflicts in love, work, marriage, parenting, and, of course, sex—all shadowed by the indelible specter of their highly sexualized parents. Insightful, panoramic, and compulsively readable, The Position is an American original.

The declaration by Paul the Apostle that "if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new" encapsulates the restorative transformation of the believer. Yet many don't have a clear understanding of the status this transformation confers on the believer in Christ. In The Position of the Adopted Child of God, Dr. Uruakpa presents in a readable and compelling language the transcendent newness of the adopted child of God, detailing the necessity of the adoption; the cost, method, and consequences of the adoption; and the benefits of the newness accruing to the believer in the form of their secure inheritance. The author sounds a note of warning to twenty-first-century believers to beware of all the forces that threaten to sabotage this privileged position as God's adopted child. This position, in spite of all odds, the author underscores, is unassailable in the life of the child of God, who is seated with Christ--astounding!
