Daring to Hope by Katie Davis Majors

Have you heard about the girl who went to Uganda and adopted a bunch of girls? Katie's first book, Kisses from Katie, a New York Times Best Seller, chronicled her first experiences in Uganda. Now, Katie continues her story in her second book, Daring to Hope, which is just as great as her first book!

I absolutely loved this book! Katie's story is inspiring and convicting. She definitely shares her stories from her heart and reveals all of those vulnerable thoughts many people often try to hide. My book is underlined in many places because what she said touched my heart. Let me share just two of the many I underlined.

"God sees you and me in our pain and our brokenness. He sees you walking a difficult path when the sun goes down and your life is a far cry from that which you expected or dreamed up. He sees you when the ending of the story is not the one that you yearned for and your prayers seem unanswered and it all feels like a bit of a mess. He wants to name these places The Lord Will Provide. When we thought life might be easier, when we thought things might be different, when we thought we might be better, be more, God provides His Son, who meets us and provides grace for our gaps and light in our darkness." (pg. 27)

"Our pain does not minimize His goodness to us, but in fact allows us to experience it in a whole new way." (pg. 138)

Katie's story this time around wrestles through death, grief, and joy, and finds that God is in the midst of it all teaching her how to more deeply depend on Him. If you are looking for a story that will encourage your walk with God, pick up Katie's newest book, Daring to Hope. It's definitely a book that should be in everyone's library!
