Katie was a normal American teenager when she decided to explore the possibility of voluntary work overseas. She temporarily 'quit life' to serve in Uganda for a year before going to college. However, returning to 'normal' became impossible and Katie 'quit life' - college, designer clothes, her little yellow convertible and her boyfriend - for good, remaining in Uganda.
In the early days she felt as though she were trying to empty the ocean with an eyedropper, but has learnt that she is not called to change the world in itself, but to change the world for one person at a time.
By the age of 22 Katie had adopted 14 girls and founded Amizima Ministries which currently has sponsors for over 600 children and a feeding program for Uganda's poorest citizens - so it is no wonder she feels Jesus wrecked her life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together making it more beautiful than it was before.

Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption$19.99
I really enjoyed this book. It is real she doesn't pretend to know it all. She's just living out one step at a time and letting God do the rest. It is also amazing to see the difference one person can make (with a whole lot of supportive friends and family)

kisses from katie
Kisses for Katie by Katie Davis\\nThis is an excellent book that is so inspiring about serving the Lord in Uganda. Katie was a young lady who answered God's call as a school teacher. She left the comfort of her home in the US to serve in a land that is deprived of many things. She came to love the people especially the children who were in distress and adopted several of them. Though single, she proved to be a good mother to her adopted children. God gave her the joy of serving. She empathized with the children and helped them come to know the God who gave his Son to save them. The children grew spiritually and physically. Many supported Katie in her new venture and were encouraged by her wonderful testimony. \\nI found the book got my attention from the start and couldn't put it down. I strongly recommend this book to everyone. It will open the readers' eyes to what mission is really like. \\n

An inspiring book!.
I've had this book for a while but have just finished it. It is inspiring and challenging in the best way. While we might marvel at the story of an American teenager who moved to a poverty-affected area in Uganda and eventually adopted 14 children, there are practical lessons for us too. We might well ask, what is the Lord calling me to do in the face of suffering. Do I love people as He does? Well written, although sometimes there is some jumping between dates. Recommended for anyone from 10 onwards. Looking forward to the follow-up now.

Life changing!
By age 22, Katie was Mum to 14 little girls in Uganda. And the crazy thing is, she was just an ordinary girl like you and me. There is no limit to what God can accomplish through a broken, willing vessel. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nI read this book 1 month after coming to Christ. I cried through every page of this book. My heart was wrenched as I saw how deeply Katie loved the lost and the broken. How she wrestled with God's goodness in the midst of suffering. How the world offered her everything, but she counted it as loss compared to knowing Jesus. But most of all I was broken because of this: Jesus' call over Katie's life to love and serve the lost, is the same call over yours and mine. Through this book I was called to mission, and my life has never been the same since. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book will change you, shape you, challenge you. But more than that it will show you God's immeasurable love for you and humanity. You will see people through God's eyes; it will be transforming and beautiful. It will bring you hope and draw you closer to Him. I pray you are blessed by this book as countless people have been! \\r\\n
