Give Away: Kisses from Katie

My friend Angie recently gave me this book, she told me this was my kind of book.  And boy was she right.  I read it in record time. 

Kisses from Katie is the story of a young girl who simply said yes to God one day and then kept saying yes to Him each step of the way.  Katie moved to Uganda for one year when she was 18 years old.  Today she is around age 22, still living in Uganda, mother to 13 adopted African girls, and director of Amazima, a ministry that sponsors children, feeds the hungry, provides vocational training and disciples new believers.

Katie's story is a living example of audacious faith.  I loved it so much, I want to give a copy away.  Leave a comment with your name below.  I will close the comments on Thursday and select a winner.  (And if you don't win, you can purchase a copy for yourself at here.).  You can also read more from Katie on her blog.

What an inspiration! God has given this young woman such a heart and love for these precious kids and this country. It makes me tear up just thinking about how she is blessing the Ugandan people.

Hey Holly!
I have enjoyed reading your blog and got so much out of what you spoke on at the JustOne Conference at Leading and Loving It this week! I have the awesome privelege of going to Kenya in June. I am so excited about this opportunity God has put before me. I'd love to read this story from Kate as I prepare for the time I will be spending in Africa in a few months!

"God would never call me to another country! I will serve Him here."

Words that should have never came out of my mouth. 2 months ago God sent me to Uganda, Africa. My life will never be the same, my heart is forever changed, and I am ready to go back.

Hi Holly,

I am new to your blog and I have been loving it! My first 20 years I was raised in a Mormon family here in Utah. Although I have been Christian for about 9 years, I still struggle with #1 Having audacious faith and #2 Believing there is a purpose for my life. The lies of my upbringing continue to be a constant recording in my head. I would love to read Katie's story and pray for the revelation that I too can be used in great ways.

Thank you for being such a shining example to me. You are a blessing to many. Good luck with your decision, I know the book will go where God has intended :)
