kisses from katie review
Kisses from Katie is a book that has given me a different point of view on daily life. It has

showed me that if you fully rely on God, he will answer your prayers. It has also shown me how

lucky I am to have my wonderful, privileged life. Katie Davis is an amazing woman who has

made me realize all of this, and I hope to be half the person she is one day.

One of the major themes in this book is that if you fully rely on and trust in God, he

will be there to help you. Katie Davis relies on God for everything she does, and everything

she has wanted to do has worked, she is fulfilling her dreams. God wants you to completely

trust him, and if you do, he will be there to make sure that everything goes right, or how he

wants it to go. Trusting in God means having a good relationship with him, and Katie Davis

tells us that having a relationship with God is one of the most important things in your life,

even though most people do not realize it.

Another thing I learned from reading Kisses from Katie is how lucky I am. There are

so many other people in the world that would dream of having my life. The children in Uganda

are happy if they get one small meal a day. The parents can barely afford to pay $20 to send their

children to school, and we spend more than $20 every single day. We are so lucky to be able

to have everything we need, when others can barely survive.

Kisses from Katie has made me realize things about life that I haven’t before. Even

though the book may have been a tad repetitive, I enjoyed it. Katie Davis is truly a wonderful

person, and a great role model for anyone. She has made me think about my relationship with

God, and that I should rely on him more, and that even though I don’t think it all the time,

I have a great life and I’m lucky to be living it.

    I never imagined that one little, tiny human could change my life. I know they say that the second you see your child, you’ll experience a love that you’ll have experienced before.

While I already had two siblings, they were closer to me in age. I was finally going to be able to take care of a baby, and there was nothing that I was more excited about.…

    From its use of symbolism to the life lesson. Jeannette Walls told her story in a unique way and it made me feel different emotion. After reading about what Jeannette and her siblings had to go through, made me think about my life. Personally, it made me grateful for having a family that provides me a shelter and treats me well. Of course, we all have ups and downs, but it just so hard to believe what she went through. And how she manages to stay strong and positive, when others can easily give up. I highly recommend this book to everyone, as if it can change your perspective on…

    Katie Davis wrote the New York Times Bestseller Kisses from Katie in 2008 to share how her life changed from growing up in an affluent neighborhood in Brentwood, Tennessee to moving to Uganda at the age of eighteen to become a missionary. My view on the world has changed drastically after reading this book mostly because I can relate to the beginning of her story as she begged her reluctant parents to allow her move to Uganda to serve the less fortunate. I also have been tasked with the same trials she faced with her parents and I can only pray my journey will follow along her footsteps one day.…

    “For a significant number of Americans, the cost of an additional meal for two school-age children for the eight weeks of summer vacation seems like a small fortune”. this really makes me sad simply for the fact that some people are really hard times right now. some parents struggle and don't seek help simply because of the perceived stigma or sign of shame or disgrace. But I believe that no matter what happens later on in life I will do everything in my power to put a meal in my child's stomach.…

    Mrs. Bea was always there when I was confused about what God wanted me to do. She would always tell me to pray and listen. Looking back on that time in my life, I can now see where I never actually done what she told me. Yes, I prayed, but I never actually listened and because of that I can see where I missed great opportunities to share my faith with others. After she left, I relied heavily on Mrs. Knight to help. This past year I found out that I will not be able play softball my senior year of high school. This will be my first year since I started playing at the age of 5, that I will not be able to play the sport I love. In fact, I will be having surgery on my shoulder on my shoulder in two weeks. This has been a real difficult time for me because I have felt as if God has left me, but Mrs. Knight continues to remind me that God’s plan is bigger than anyone can ever imagine. She has also told me that God gives us these storms so that we will be able to help someone else that might be going through something similar. In fact, Mrs. Knight is helping me gather my testimony so that I can tell it to the FCS members. It is still hard for me, as the softball season gets closer, that I won’t be able to play. Mrs. Knight has really helped me and been there for me in this difficult time. She has constantly been praying for and with me.
