Book excerpt: “An unforgettable journey of obedience that is changing million of lives.” – Ernie Johnson, host, “NBA on TNT” Three decades ago, on one hot summer afternoon at a camp in Lagos, Nigeria, a stranger from Wisconsin befriended a young African boy. This nine-year-old, like so many other children in Africa, had never known the comfort and security of owning a pair of shoes. In this inspiring book you will read the dramatic story of how that one gift not only transformed a life, but became the catalyst for an organization that provides “Shoes of Hope” for millions of needy children around the world. Says the author, “Obedience is the greatest gift we can give to God.” On these pages you will discover what it means to say, “Yes.” “Manny, you showed me what it’s like to be a servant leader by washing the feet of the poor in my country through the outreach of Samaritan’s Feet. Thank you for blessing Burundi and the children of the world.” – Pierre Nkurunzia, President, Federal Republic of Burundi “Through Samaritan’s Feet, Manny gives more than shoes, he gives hope, healing, and love.” – J.D.
