Publisher Description
A New York Times bestselling memoir, this inspiring true story follows eighteen-year-old Katie Davis Majors as she leaves her comfortable life in Nashville to become the adoptive mother of thirteen girls in Uganda.
At the height of her senior year—class president, homecoming queen, and college-bound—Katie Davis felt called to something radically different. During a Christmas mission trip to Uganda, her heart was transformed by the poverty and spiritual hunger she witnessed. What began as a short-term visit became a lifelong commitment.
Defying expectations and giving up her plans for college, relationships, and familiarity, Katie returned to Uganda to serve. Over time, she adopted thirteen daughters and founded Amazima Ministries, an organization that provides education, food, and discipleship to hundreds of children. Through faith, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in God’s calling, Katie built a family and a ministry from the ground up.
With honesty and heartfelt storytelling, this memoir chronicles Katie’s journey of obedience, sacrifice, and radical love as she learns to trust Jesus in the face of impossible circumstances. Kisses from Katie challenges you to live boldly, love generously, and follow God wherever He leads.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When an 18-year-old from Nashville visits Uganda on a mission trip, she is so affected that she moves back for one year to teach in an orphanage. Within a short time she discovers the needs around her are so great that she feels led to start a nonprofit that feeds, educates, and shows the love of God to children in Uganda. Finally faced with a choice between the United States, her parents' wishes for her college education, her boyfriend, and staying in Uganda, Katie must decide: will she give up her life and buy a one-way ticket to Uganda? As the subtitle suggests, this is a story of an amazing young woman with no limits to love. Davis eventually adopts one by one or in groups of siblings 14 children, with hundreds more being sponsored through the nonprofit Amazima (truth) Ministries she establishes. This is an emotionally charged and vivid account of a person following in the footsteps of Mother Teresa, asking God, "Whom would you have me help today?" and believing the answer is right before the eyes of the one praying that prayer.
