Footprints Of A Pilgrim is Ruth Bell Graham's life story told in her own words (weaving together her prose and poetry) with added tidbits and anecdotes from her family (husband Billy and her children Gigi, Anne, Franklin, Ruth and Ned) and many of her friends (including Barbara Bush, Lady Bird Johnson, Jan Karon, Patricia Cornwell and others). With snatches of insight and glimpses of grace, Footprints Of A Pilgrim tells the story of a life (a very full and special life) complete with memories of joy, pain, brokenness, and healing. Also included are many never before published pictures which illustrate the remarkable journey of Ruth Bell Graham, as a child of a missionaries in Quingjiang, China in 1920, until today at her home in Little Piney Cove, Montreat, North Carolina.
very well written book by a daughter about her beloved mother. what a lovely tribute.

A Pilgrim to Follow

I have not finished the book, but already I know I must have it to read over and over the rest of my life. I am sorry for the person who doesn't enjoy her poetry, Ruth Graham's poetry is the first I've enjoyed...and she offers so much of herself in it. I urge everyone to sit by a laughing fire and read this book, along with Ruth's other delightful works.
A Review from Reader One
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I know that sounds like an unusual title for a review, but you see, I am reader one. I am currently memorizing the Readers Theatre version of "Footprints of a Pilgrim". The book has made me laugh, cry, and think back over my life. The perseverance and strength of Ruth Bell Graham has been an inspiration to me. The theatre group I work with will be performing this drama on Dec. 12-13, 2002. It is an honor to be able to portray the life of such a wonderful Christian woman. I'm sure this book will bless any reader
