Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis

How does a young woman fresh out of high school where she had been Student Body President and Homecoming Queen radically change her entire life, go to Uganda, and adopt 14 orphans? She falls in love, that's how but not with her high school sweetheart. She falls in love with Jesus and decides to follow where He leads. I'll be honest, I don't understand it but to Katie following Christ's call to feed and care for the poor and sick is just compelling. She doesn't appear to feel burdened but rather in awe that Jesus would call her and use her to feed the poor and tend the sick. In order to feed and care for the sick, she has formed a non-profit organization, Amazima which means "the truth". More information about it can be found at www.amazima.org.
It's an inspiring book to read. Just her decision to love unconditionally those who come her way is a radical thought. She has a blog www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com.
