From the author who inspired the poem ‘Footprints’

Paul Powers has had the kind of life of which television movies are made. At the age of seven he was beaten up by his alcoholic father for crying over the death of his mother. Shortly after his father set up housekeeping with the town prostitute, who practised her trade in the family home. Power’s abusive and poverty-stricken family life led to a life of crime, culminating is his murdering a woman.

Too Tough to Cry is the remarkable story of how this bitter adolescent, murderer and petty thief discovered God and a life of love, forgiveness and commitment. He is now a successful children’s evangelist, loving father and the husband of Margaret Fishback Powers, creator of the famous Footprints poem and author of several bestselling books that have brought joy, hope and inspiration to people around the world.
