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

Inspiring

This book will be a blessing and an encouragement. The biblical principles are wonderful. I ordered 5 copies of the book after finishing it to distribute as gifts. In addition, the readers voice was pleasant to listen to.

Very inspiring!

Any additional comments?

Well-written and well-read. She challenges us all who believe in Christ to really live what He taught. It's amazing how God uses her- and is ready to use any of us who try to be in the center of His will.

real, raw, passionate <br />love of Chrust shines thru

the maturity of the love of Christ in this young woman is astounding! Yet at the same time, it is the same depth of love that is available to and thru each one of us as His children. While she tells her story of love through the eyes of a missionary in fire circumstances in Uganda, it's made clear that we each have our own story (or we should) wherever it is that we are called and gifted to minister. The call rings forth to abandon exceeds and embrace Christ's call in our lives to bless others.

Want a positive change of heart???

...Then read this book, and let Katie inspire you and challenge you to live far beyond the status quo of western culture. Perhaps after you read this book your question will not be “what will I read next?” Probably, the question will be “what will I do next to make a difference in this world, now!”
