Daring to Hope

Finding God's Goodness in the Broken and the Beautiful

De: Katie Davis Majors, Ann Voskamp - foreword

Narrado por: Jaimee Draper

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 13 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 this book. 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.

The hope of God through adversity and in the mundane

This is a beautiful book about experiencing the hope of God in the good and in the bad. It is so sweet and kind of Katie to share her life in Uganda with people around the world. I find it very encouraging how she is able to illustrate how the Lord works in the extravagant along with in the everyday duties of life.

God glorifying

Absolutely beautiful. Katie’s transparency and vulnerability is beautiful. Such powerful reminders that God’s happy endings do not always look like our happy endings. He receives the glory and I praise Him better because of this book.

Hope

I love this book because it’s real. Life gets hard. Sometimes there’s disappointment upon disappointment. But God’s still good and we’re not alone, and this book is the perfect testament to that💕

Loving God with all our heart, mind and soul look like this.

This book has impacted my faith in ways that astound me. I am truly inspired by this young woman, her family and the life that she leads! I pray that I might be able to live my faith like this when difficulties arise.

I have been truly blessed by the honor of listening to this audiobook. I intend to purchase the book and, hopefully, do a book study on it with a group of friends.

May God bless Katie and her beautiful family plus her ministry.

Beautiful tale told by a remarkable young woman who doesn’t seem to know how really remarkable she is. As you journey through her world with her you can feel the presence of Jesus. This book is worth every minute and much more.
