An invitation to hope The God wrestler In the thicket Wounded Prisoners of hope We have one another A dry and weary land Yet I will rejoice Scars Come to life Choosing to believe A flickering flame Faithful Time to sing He who promised A deep and quiet love Home Bread of life Beauty in the storm.

Summary: 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'll find your own questions echoed in these pages. You'll learn to see gifts of joy in the midst of sorrow. And you'll hear God's whisper: Hold on to hope. I will meet you there.
