Adhesive for a Decorative Cast Stone Facing?

My home has flat stones on the front cemented on. They are decorative and look like flagstones, but I think they are actually castings. One or two have fallen off. They are approx one foot on each side. I prefer not to have to mix up cement or mortar, if I can avoid that. Can you recommend a good ready-to-use adhesive that I could find at Lowe's or Home Depot to glue these back on?

    DON'T USE LIQUID NAILS! It is thin, runny, and doesn't stick anything weighing more than a piece of paper. Use PL Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive (in the yellow tube). It's thicker and has a better initial sticking power that should handle the force of gravity better. Honestly, I thought they were the same until I compared them and found out they are not.

    possibly liquid nail will work or an epoxy for cement.
