Kisses from Katie tells the incredible true story of Katie Davis, a popular and friendly girl from Nashville. Katie's life was never the same after going on a short-term mission trip to Uganda when she was eighteen. After coming home, she knew that she was being called by God to make a difference in these people's lives. Katie gave up her comfortable life in return for one of service.
Over the course of the book, Katie explains how she ended up adopting thirteen girls from Uganda and what her life is like living in Africa. Katie also established Amazima Ministries, which provides food, education, and medical care to children living in her village. Throughout the book, Katie chronicles many of the trials she has faced, and her faith in Christ is evident in each page she writes.
Kisses from Katie is a mind-blowing book which will leave you feeling inspired but also convicted of what you can be doing to love "the least of these." Katie also has a blog, where you can keep reading her continuing story. Also check out the Amazima Ministries site, which sells handcrafted jewelry made by Ugandan women trying to earn a living.
Rating: I would give this book a 5 out of 5.
