As the pages turn at a steady pace, readers will practically hear the footsteps of the faithful men and women who have left a lasting impression upon our world. Author Jeff O'Leary introduces seven remarkable people who lived passionate and purposeful lives. Although their stories are both inspirational and encouraging, there is also an urgent appeal for everyone to recognize their God-given destinies and to pursue His plan with complete confidence.

Divided into two parts, the book first explores the legacies left by such notables as Raoul Wallenberg and Florence Nightingale. Each biographical sketch highlights their priceless contributions to mankind. Their stories are stirring accounts, filled with drama, excitement and a selfless love. After reading these short narratives, readers will then have their attention turned upon themselves, as the second part of the part of the book outlines a simple and effective strategy for leaving footprints in the pathway of time.

The author's enthusiasm is evident from the first page, causing his words to ring with sincerity. The biographies of these men and women serve as examples of extraordinary living, yet Jeff O'Leary also shows readers how they can experience a life that is worthy of remembrance. Basing his convictions and teachings on the Bible, he leads his audience through a carefully mapped out plan for productive living. There is a sensitive, yet insistent, urgency in these pages, as he encourages everyone to seek a life that is worthy of their high calling in Christ. This book has a wonderful similarity to the eleventh chapter in Hebrews, and its contemporary illustrations give it a startling relevancy to today's world.

Consider this book to be a biblical blueprint for leaving lasting footprints!
