Footprints

In Footprints-a poignant chronicle of the life and times of a man raised during the Great Depression-Gerald "Bill" Haring shares his experiences as a U.S. Marine during World War II, as well as his 17 years as a missionary in Mexico. Now in his 90s, Bill recalls the hard work of farm life as a boy and the happy moments too: playing down at the creek, pulling pranks on his brothers, and running across the fields to the railroad track to wave at his grandpa, who engineered the Cannonball Express. His entertaining and compelling memoir will have you laughing at times, crying or holding your breath at others, with death threats, tragic loss, and other hair-raising experiences. Yet through all the ups and downs, twists and turns, happy and sad moments, Bill remains steadfast in his service to God and love for God and His people. His is an amazing story from beginning to end.
