it got to meet her in person and she is wonderful! Even got her autograph! good its interesting about the poem Um livro inspirador sobre a vida da autora de um poema que todos conhecemos.
Muito bom!

I read this book during a plane trip! It was quite moving and I found it interesting, not just from the incredible Faith that it shares and portrays, but also because it show's an Author's psychological reaction to the fact that their Poem was being used without any notion of who had written it! This inner conflict and the way in which it was resolved were the facets I mostly reflected upon.

LisboaJanuaryThis was a really interesting read, I had no idea that there was such a dramatic origin to the poem, and good on Fishback Powers for getting the recognition

she deserves as a writer.
I like the poem "Footprints in the Sand" or "I should say In a Dream", so it was great to read the story behind its creation and who the author was.
Great inspiration story. To my friends: I own this book, if you want to borrow it, let me know,,Inspiring true story of how the poem "Footprints" came to be, Lots of trials and soul searching, This has been an inspiration and a challenge for me, Written in an extremely simple and basic literary style, it is nonetheless a book worth reading, Great little book about the person who wrote the poem 'Footprints', Authorship had always been put as 'anonymous', The poem was every where, in frames, on mugs, and all types of merchandise and soon had variations adapted to other topics.


Well it so happens that Margaret Fishback Powers is the author of this poem and I believe her.
It has been quite a controversial fiasco around thes, She had written it in the's,

In this book you get a brief biography and the event that inspired the poem, There are other quite remarkable stories of hardship in this book, And the overarching lesson is that of trusting God, which is what the poem is about!

It really is a delightful book with short chapters and a delightful read for sure! We met Margaret and her husband at Dairy Queen in Tillsonburg.
. Chatted with them for a while before finding out who she was, . . she even took a picture with our family, . and gave me her book and poem , autographed! I came across this book under a biography section whilst I was browsing the net for an inspirational read.
It is actually an autobiography of a family's amazing journey with the Lord, I, like so many thousands of others, have seen and read this piece of prose many times over the years.
And, also like so many thousands, I had no idea who the author was, That was explained by the author herself, after much of her written material went missing in a house move, Margaret Fishback Powers details many, many times when her faith, and the faith of others, had saved her and her family.
It is hard not to get emotionally involved in her life story, When she discovered her writing had been stolen and no copyright redress, she went into a spin, Many years of angst later, she explained her reasons for the decision that she eventually came to, before things were set right.
This piece has been an encouragement for people worldwide over a long period, There is another piece of Margaret's writing I cam across in the ''s, which at the time was attributed as an anonymous piece.
It is one I have shared called A Letter from a Friend, Her family's personal struggles, alongside the spiritual ones, had me reading this book in abouthours, I am grateful for the inspiration that Margaret has shared throughout the tale, As in all things, God is good, Even though many would not agree, Margaret and her family would tell otherwise, Not sure what to think whether she is the true author or one of the other two people who have come forward to claim this amazing poem.
Either way, it was an interesting and easy read, This was a great book about the woman who I later learned supposedly wrote the poem Footprints, I say supposedly wrote because when I looked her up on the Internet, I couldn't find her! Then looking up the poem, it seems that several people say they wrote it.
Even in this book, the author said she encountered her poem in bookstores crediting other authors with writing it, But her Christian values told her to let it go and not bother with lawsuits, Whoever wrote the poem, it doesn't matter since it's so beautiful and will never get old, "Dan aku slalu tahu Tangan Tuhan senantiasa menggendongku kala rintangan menghadang" I fell in love with this poem when I was a young girl and I always wanted to know who wrote it and often wondered if there was a story behind it.
This book answered all my questions, Gift from my mom. I love Footprints. "Pegadas na Areia
