Last meeting of 2013!!!

Thank you, Amanda, for having us in your lovely new home, thanks to all who brought food, and thanks for another fun time with my favorite group!!  Hope everyone has a blessed holiday season!  We have over 2 months to read "The List"!  See ya at Gayle's in January!

Discussion Questions for "Kisses From Katie"

What did you think of her writing style?
Did you like her journal entries?  Why or why not?
Do you wish she would have given more detail about anything?

I found some questions online and borrowed parts of them........
Katie says:
I believe that God is sovereign. That just as He has intended, so it has happened, and just as He has planned, so it will stand (see Isaiah 14:24). But when people look at the poverty and hurt in this world and ask, “Where is God?” I say God is right here living inside the hearts of all who believe. So maybe the question is, “Where are we?”   Talk about this a little.

Can you even imagine the conditions she witnesses?  How about the "medical" care she has to administer!!??

Anyone have an example of a lesson you learned from a secular source...like she talked about on page 174 learning from Celine Dion songs?  Talk about the other "lessons" she listed..."God cares about even my petty feelings", "Parenting is sometimes tough, almost always hilarious", etc. Do you agree that she is getting an education even though she didn't finish college!?

Katie writes, “I have learned that I will not change the world. Jesus will do that. I can, however, change the world for one person” Discuss how Katie comes to terms with being unable to help every person, every time.

Did this book inspire you?  If so, how?
