Description
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.

Majors (Kisses from Katie) recalls the triumphs and tragedies she faced as an adoptive mom and missionary in Uganda. After her adopted daughter’s biological mother took the child back, Majors questioned God as she pleaded for him to bring her daughter home. God did not give her the answer she desired, and for the first time in her life, she wondered whether God was good. From there, Majors embarked on a journey of doubt and loss that brought her to a place of hope and understanding. While serving a disease- and poverty-stricken community in Uganda by volunteering at a hospital and eventually starting Amazima Ministries, Majors felt helpless watching many of the people she cared for—including friends and their children—suffer and sometimes die in her home. Pondering these events, she comes to the realization that God is good, gracious, near, faithful, and strong. The book is both sorrowful and encouraging, with love as the driving force behind hope. Majors tackles her doubt about her faith boldly, and her thoughts can serve as a reminder that God “breathed life into us so that we could breathe life into others.”
