Jumping on a
plane and flying off to Africa with Eli seemed to make sense in the middle of
the night when her friends, Todd and Christy, helped her to book her flight and
encouraged her to make the wild leap into the unknown. Now it seemed crazy. All
of it.
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Target Audience: Girls 18-25
Subjects: Missions, Dating
Relationships, Family Relationships, God’s Will
Summary: Katie is in Africa!
With Eli! She’s fairly convinced that she must be crazy, but something in her
keeps saying this is right. After meeting his family and getting settled into
the mission, she and Eli both begin pursing their future plans. What does God
have for them? What, specifically, are they supposed to be doing? When an old
boyfriend from Katie’s past shows up, answers begin appearing, but not in the
way either of them expected.
Notes: The story of Katie is
complete! In 1989 we were introduced to Katie Weldon, friend of Christy Miller.
Now, after 23 years her story has been finished. Well, at least finished as in
her romance has been resolved and her career path has been chosen. She is now
through with college, making this book ideal for older teens and early 20’s who
will be able to relate to Katie’s struggles to figure out what to do with her
life. Through the years and many books, Katie has wrestled with what God wants
her to do. She’s pursued a number of things, and had extremely serious
relationships with two different guys. She’s learned to let God lead her heart,
and that leading has placed her in Africa with
the guy who’s been making strange comments throughout the Katie Weldon series.
This story really continues the theme of trusting God to lead you and being
willing to follow His leading, no matter how strange it may seem. Both the main
characters in this story are wrestling with that. They’ve come to the point in
their relationships with God where they desire His will, but figuring out what
that is and how or even if, that works out for a relationship with one another,
is quite a challenge.
