Book Description

January 10, 2010
“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. Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing

Sole Purpose is an incredible, heart touching, inspirational story about Manny Ohonme's journey and finding his purpose in life. As I read the book, I felt that I could relate to so many things he was saying. I feel lead to do more. this book is informative. It will challenge you to learn more about yourself and grow closer to God and serve Him. Manny's story will touch you, and possibly inspire you to touch someone else's life.

Manny has a truly inspiring story to tell, one that comes from direct experience. As a youth he was at times in a situation like the very people he is providing footwear to and after receiving such a gift early in life returns it in multiple to others. The phrase "pass it forward" isn't enough to describe the dedication, in his case it is "multiply it by thousands, get others passionate about the cause, and see it grow and passed forward".

Once you read this book you will pass it on to another and likely want to buy many copies to give to everyone you know.

While the book is an autobiography he really wants to get the message out about the cause so in that sense it is less about the person and more about what drives him and how others are compelled to help as well.

Can shoes make a difference in someones life? Read the book if you are not convinced.
