"I love the paint of words...." So begins a poem by Ruth Bell Graham, best known as the wife of popular evangelist Billy Graham. Although poetry is at the heart of this beautifully laid-out "scrapbook" of her life, there's much more here in the way of Graham memorabilia: antique photos, plaintive journal entries, childhood drawings, love letters, and old college schedules:
I can't remember when I wasn't scribbling something. I jot things down when I can't sleep or I'm too tired or I need to reflect on friends family, frustrations. Funny moments, notebook upon notebook, a storehouse of memories...Like Graham herself, there's plenty of humor here, and just a spark of mischief: whether it's her memories of breaking curfew in college and getting grounded ("I found I had plenty of time to write"), or her thoughts on marriage ("Divorce never... murder maybe").
Peppered throughout are short, boxed vignettes about Ruth written by her children, her husband, one-time neighbor and crime novelist Patricia Cornwell, author Jan Karon, and former First Lady Barbara Bush. By turns poignant, humorous, and wistful, this scrapbook memoir is a fitting salute to an admired personality. --Cindy Crosby
Book Description
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.

Footprints to Follow Proudly
2005/11/3
形式:ハードカバー
Rich, simple and startlingly clear & deep, the poetry of Ruth Bell Graham speaks a heart language that lends itself alike to silent contemplation or verbal reading.
This is far more than an attractive coffee-table book. It is a treasure of rich verse, beautiful language, deep insight and breathtaking honesty.
An ideal gift for yourself or that special someone, this is a book that will continue to give every time it is opened. It also poses the risk of making poetry lovers from those who think all poetry is stilted and obscure.

a must-read for Ruth Graham admirers
2001/7/4
形式:ハードカバー
As an admirer of Ruth Graham's life and character, I bought this book because I suspect it might be the last one she writes. It's a beautiful book, combining pictures from throughout her life with biography and poetry. I'm not a big fan of her poetry, so I tended to skim those sections. But the biographical portion offers a comprehensive look at her life from childhood in China to student days at Wheaton College to wife and mother. Her faith and wit shine through in vignettes contributed by her children and friends. We have a lot to learn from Mrs. Graham's generation, and this book will help to preserve her wisdom long after she's gone.

The Great Woman Behind The Man
2006/4/21
形式:ハードカバー
Married to internationally known Reverend Billy Graham, Ruth Bell Graham has a lot to say in her own right. She shares her voice in a poetic way within the pages of "Footprints Of A Pilgrim." And what a lovely voice it is - melodic, deep, intelligent, elegant and so insightful. I had never known Mrs. Graham possessed such creative talent. Her poems are amazing and are of varied human, nature and spiritual topics, always interesting.
The book itself is beautifully presented, loaded with pictures of the past of family and friends and annotated with brief glimpses into Mrs. Graham's life. It's almost like a shortened version of her interesting biography, showcasing her wonderful poetry throughout the years.
"Footprints Of A Pilgrim" is the type of book I keep in my library as it can be re-read a few years from now, appreciating in age.
