I have always been a reader. In middle and high school I could read two or more books a day. I still love to read, but with a husband, house, laundry, and 3 blessings (who keep me super busy) this is not a season of life when I have large amounts of time to devote to reading. So when selecting books to read I try to be choosy and only select books that I feel will be worth the time I spent reading them. This book is hands down one of those books....
Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis is one of the most moving and inspirational books I have ever read or could hope to read. This girl is absolutely amazing to the point that I really can't find the words to even begin to explain it. This book is so good that I read it in a matter of hours. You just have to read it and see for yourself!
The rave reviews for Katie's book put it better than I every could:
“When you think of what one young woman can accomplish by simply being open to God’s call no matter the cost, you begin to ask questions like, Am I really open to God’s will for my life? Through Katie’s life, we’re reminded how God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things for Him. We simply need to be willing to be used."
—Rich Stearns, President of World Vision US, Author of The Hole in Our Gospel
“With reckless abandon, Katie Davis followed her heart to care for orphans living in extreme poverty in Uganda. Her stories captivate the reader to take action, join her work, and make the world a better place for children—one by one.”
—Senator William H. Frist, MD
“As I read Katie's book, I felt like I was reading Amy Carmichael. As Amy did in her life, Katie shows Jesus to be amazingly wonderful not only in what she writes, but also in how she selflessly cares for the fatherless. If you want to love Jesus more and better understand his love for the least of these, read Kisses from Katie. She is for our generation what Amy was for hers: a hero in fulfilling God's call to care for orphans.”
—Dan Cruver, director, Together for Adoption, author of Reclaiming Adoption
“I was profoundly moved, challenged, and convicted as I read Kisses from Katie, and I came away wanting to know Jesus the way that Katie does. This is an honest and compelling account of one young woman's journey of obedience to a Jesus who loves the whole world, especially the forgotten and the marginalized. Jesus was the most revolutionary and subversive man who ever lived. Following Him should lead us to be graciously radical in His name.”
—Mike Erre, author of Why the Bible Matters and The Jesus of Suburbia
