Daring to Hope by Katie Davis Majors

To say this is an inspirational book is an understatement.  Katie’s honest and open heart felt words really impressed me with their simplicity and depth.  Simple in that she isn’t putting on airs or using high- brow theological terms.  She shares her testimony through stories of pain, sorrow, doubt, fear, turmoil, anger, etc.  The one thing that really stood out for me is when she shared that sometimes God does not answer our “whys” but that His presence is still made evident to comfort and carry us through those experiences.  I was encouraged reading how she felt even closer to God after experiencing horrendous times of grief and upheaval.  Katie writes in vivid emotional detail so that you are drawn to her and her children and friends.  You feel your heart strings tugging and breaking over their stories as if you were there with them.  There is so much spiritual comfort and insight in this book.  Katie covers many different types of “trials” but through each one she demonstrates how a very real God gives love each and every time.  This book came to me just when I needed it!  A real blessing and answer to prayer!
