"This Memoir from Rob Nelson will teach you how to trust God for His provision, His leading and His faithfulness! If you are feeling like God can’t use you or that your life has no purpose, read this book! As the author says in the book “God has a plan for you. It’s more than you can imagine. God will give you the greatest adventure of your life".

"In a well-written and refreshingly transparent travelogue, Rob Nelson takes the reader on a journey that will take them from fear and failure to faith and (God’s) footprints, from insecurityto infection, and from passivity to passion. His detailed stories capture our imagination as to what God’s plan is for our lives, and that even though we might be going through hardships, heartaches, and perhaps even hysterics, He is ever beside us. During difficult times we might even ask, “God, where are you?” Rob asked this question. Referring to some of the challenges and difficulties that Rob and Diana were going through during their God-given missionary duties, he spoke to the Lord in extraordinarily strong terms and said, “I quit! You promised that you would provide, and you are not providing. I can’t do this anymore! If you don’t start doing Your job, we are leaving” (his missionary work in Argentina). I find this response extremely transparent and refreshing. Even more amazing was God’s immediate response to him: “I’ve been waiting for you to say that!” You’ll have to read the rest of the book to find out the impact that God’s answer had on Rob’s and Diana’s life. It’s all about “footprints.” Enjoy the journey!"

"Have you ever wondered if your life has any meaning? Or, will you ever walk into your destiny? I know that I have during times in life, especially when things seemed most uncertain. I believe there is a supernatural life journey for anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is the Lord of his or her life. It begins at that point we call “salvation” and it ends when we go home to be with our Lord. When I read Footprints by Robert Nelson, I quickly realized one of the simplest truths we as Christians know is that God is always at work in our lives. However, when you find yourself in the midst of life, in the twists and turns, it’s hard to see. 

Robert does a stellar job of conveying this truth and allowing us to identify with the hand of God on our lives. You will quickly be encouraged that Robert’s story of seeing the footprint of God in his life resembles yours in a unique way that only God can orchestrate. It is a supernatural plan that resembles Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (NKJV).

I believe that when you read Footprints the aforementioned questions will be answered in your life and this revelation will catapult you forward into going deeper with God, because after all, you will finally realize that He is with you. Going deeper with God will always be a good thing, but the key is getting to that point, and I believe Footprints will help you get there. Robert is a wonderful man of God, husband, father and grandfather and I believe his story will resonate with Godly believers of all ages."

"An artist is able to take a blank canvas and create a likeness of something we have or would like to see from the real. The greatest Artist of all has painted in such a way that we all are without a reason for not recognizing His handiwork. This Artist is on full display within the pages of this book. Rob has done an excellent job walking through the events of his life and pointing to the Artist at work. He keeps your attention and honors the One who most deserves it. If you dislike spy books, love stories, the impossible becoming possible, and stories of how good can overcome evil, then don’t read this book. But if, like me, you are drawn to stories of these kinds then you will find within these pages, an uplifting narrative that will keep your attention through the final page!"
