Kisses from Katie is the memoir of a young adult named Katie Davis, who is currently serving full-time as a missionary in Uganda. Katie is single, under the age of 25 and has already started her own organization and adopted over ten children! Needless to say, the minute I heard about this book, I wanted to read it.
To be honest, I had my reservations. Though the concept was so intriguing to me, I had my questions about a young, single girl adopting several orphans. I wasn't sure about the wisdom in such a move. However, it's clear from the pages of this book that this girl hasn't taken anything the Lord has led her to do lightly.
As a single missionary myself, I was so challenged. I often feel that I believe God could do anything but with ME? That's another story. This book was a good reminder of how God operates: using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and the weak things to confound the things that are mighty. I really enjoyed reading this very real account of a person who has commited their life to the cause of Christ: not always easy, not always glamorous but always blessed and upheld by the strength of God.
This book was a breath of fresh air. I'd highly recommend this for high school students and young adult groups. I would also highly recommend this to anyone who needs to be stirred out of complacency (I needed that at the time!) or anyone who wants to read about how God is fulfilling the promise that He will build His church and the gates of hell won't prevail against it. xo
