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.

If you loved Kisses from Katie, you'll love Daring to Hope. Katie
pours her heart and soul onto the pages about her family, life and faith. his
is a wonderful book as Katie brings us up to date of her life in Uganda. She
shares not only the successes and happy times but also the heartbreak and
struggles of trying to see God in the tragedies. Daring to Hope addresses the
hard questions that we often avoid as Christians: Where is God in the hard
times? How could a good God let this happen? Katie doesn't try to gloss
over or cover up her questions and raw feelings. She perseveres through the
pain and lands solidly on her faith in the One who has called her and sustains
her. Her words continually point us back to the only One who can bring us
true hope!
