Publisher's summary

My life in the red dirt of Uganda...

"Sometimes I want to spend hours talking with my best friends about boys and fashion and school and life. I want to go to the gym; I want my hair to look nice; I want to be allowed to wear jeans. I want to be a normal young woman living in America, sometimes. But I want other things more. All the time. I want to be spiritually and emotionally filled every day. I want to be loved and cuddled by a hundred children and never go a day without laughing. I want to wake up to a rooster’s crow and open my eyes to see lush green trees that seem to pulse with life against a piercing blue sky and the rusty red soil of Uganda. I want to be challenged endlessly. I want to be taught by those I teach, and I want to share God’s love with people who otherwise might not know it. I want to work so hard that I end every day filthy and too tired to move. I want to make some kind of difference, no matter how small, and I want to follow the calling God has placed on my heart. I want to give my life away, to serve the Lord with each breath. At the end of the day, no matter how hard, I want to be right here in Uganda." -Katie Davis

This is a life changing story.

There are books that i read that are pure pleasure and there are some books that I read that have such an impact on me that I am forever changed. Kisses from Katie tells of the strength, unconditional love,and sacrifice that God used in this young woman who had a dream to help children in Uganda. Katie demonstrates selfless love that comes with the price of great loss at times and other times has an eternal payoff. This book took me through the whole gamut of emotions. I will listen to it again and again. Another plus is the narrator captures the emotions with realistic emphasis in all the right places.

Will change your life

The story touches your heart in a most profound way. I was somewhat skeptical toward God but longed to believe he was love. This book changed my view. The reading is also excellent.

Very well-written/performed. I am encouraged and inspired. Changed my perspective on many things, and made me both thankful for what I have and more willing to serve others where I am.

Breathtaking and motivating.

I had no idea that this book would open my heart and my eyes. The way Katie lives her life is the way Jesus lives his. Thank you Katie. Thank you for changing my heart. I pray that Jesus will continue to give your the strength you need. Thank you for saying yes.

Will grab your heart and fill it!

This is both a heart wrenching and heart filling journey through the goodness of our loving God and Father. There is no one like him and I am so grateful for the openness of Katie to share her journey with us and remind us of our privilege and duty! Bless you and your whole family!
