Ilustration Concering Books Kisses from Katie
What would cause an eighteen-year-old old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disobey and disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother’s heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because the rest of them think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person but didn’t know any of the language? A passion to make a difference. Katie Davis left over Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved, so broken by the people and the children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. Her story is like Mother Teresa’s in that she has given up everything—at such a young age—to care for the less fortunate of this world. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, has gone on to adopt 14 children during her time in Uganda, and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family, which includes children with special needs. To further her reach into the needs of Ugandans, Katie established Amazima Ministries. The ministry matches orphaned children with sponors worldwide. Each sponsor's $300/year provides schooling, school supplies, three hot meals a day, minor medical care, and spiritual encouragement. Katie expected to have forty children in the program; she had signed up 150 by January 2008; today it sponsors over 400. Another aspect of the ministry is a feeding program created for the displaced Karamojong people—Uganda's poorest citizens. The program feeds lunch to over 1200 children Monday-Friday and sends them home with a plate for food; it also offers basic medical care, Bible study, and general health training. Katie Davis, now 21, is more than fascinating, she's inspiring, as she has wholeheartedly answered the call to serve.

If I could give this book more stars I would. I was so inspired by Katie Davis's story of her work in Uganda with orphans. She reminds me of a modern day Mother Theresa. Her heart to live out the Love of Christ has really touched my heart. I highly recommend this book.I searched and searched and cannot find anything but glowing reviews for this book and gushing pats on the back for Katie. She is, afterall, single handedly saving the children of Africa. Be warned, this gal is kind of (actually extremely)irritating. Unless you can look past all the drama and emotion and baby cuddling that is poured into this thing. Allright, again, she is saving the children of Africa and that has to incorporate some drama. But not as much as this book contains. And I am glad
While Katie is an impressive woman, I struggled with her cultural (in)sensitivity and the God that she believes in. On one page God is a miracle-worker who heals the impossible, on the next page it's "God's will" that a child should die of a curable disease. The good? This book gave me a swift kick in the rear to remind me of my desire to work in developing countries.
Katie is an amazing young women. Adopting and caring for many children as well as providing food and schooling for over 400 children. In her book she provides many life experiences she has struggled with during her ministry in Uganda. Each story is touching and reminds me how blessed my life in America is and how I should seek to meet the needs of others. Maybe I should have given the book 4 stars because I truly enjoyed the book but settled for 3 stars because the writing was very simple. Katie
finally finished!! Altho I had hiccups while reading it (not bc of the book, just life) I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. Throughout the entire thing, I just related to Katie SO MUCH from my experience falling in love with foreign missions. What a beautiful testimony!!
I get why this book is so popular. Katie has a great heart, and God is using her. It's inspiring. But...Read it while simultaneously reading it while reading 'when helping hurts'....probably gave me a little bit of 'ugh'.....BTW--READ WHEN HELPING HURTS, 5 stars!!!!!Here's the thing that made me give this book 3 stars. The way she did things/does some things is pretty much exactly how I DON'T want to do things here. (don't get me wrong.....I love her heart for adoption and helping the least of
