New York Times bestseller How do you hold on to hope when you don't get the ending you asked for? When Katie Davis Majors moved to Uganda, accidentally founded a booming organization, and later became the mother of thirteen girls through the miracle of adoption, she determined to weave her life together with the people she desired to serve. But joy often gave way to sorrow as she invested her heart fully in walking alongside people in the grip of poverty, addiction, desperation, and disease. After unexpected tragedy shook her family, for the first time Katie began to wonder, Is God really good? Does He really love us? When she turned to Him with her questions, God spoke truth to her heart and drew her even deeper into relationship with Him. Daring to Hope is an invitation to cling to the God of the impossible--the God who whispers His love to us in the quiet, in the mundane, when our prayers are not answered the way we want or the miracle doesn't come. It's about a mother discovering the extraordinary strength it takes to be ordinary. It's about choosing faith no matter the circumstance and about encountering God's goodness in the least expected places. Though your heartaches and dreams may take a different shape, you will find your own questions echoed in these pages. You'll be reminded of the gifts of joy in the midst of sorrow. And you'll hear God's whisper: Hold on to hope. I will meet you here.
My world was turned right side up with the truth Katie delivers in this book. She simply tell of the goodness she's experienced with the Lord, even in her darkest days. What an encouraging and challenging read!
Hopeful, powerful book

I read Katie Davis (now Majors)' book "Kisses from Katie" back in the day, so was super excited when she released "Daring to Hope". It does help to have read "Kisses" first, just to set the stage for "DTH", but they can definitely be read separately.
This book speak so much to my soul.
Majors has gone through her own hardships and walked long, hard roads with the people around her. This book takes a long look at some of those especially hard experiences, and shares her own thought process, the questions she asked and how good could possibly come out of XYZ situation(s). It's so refreshing to hear this vulnerability; I've had some of the same thoughts myself, and I so appreciated knowing I wasn't alone!
Majors constantly points back to Christ and the truths we know about him for encouragement, strength, and refreshment in the good and the less-good and the downright bad situations of life. I will revisit this book again and again to remind me of God's faithfulness.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher as part of the launch team. All opinions are my own.
Beautiful!!!
