Footprints in the Humble Pie by Steve Perryman

Most people have to eat humble pie.
Steve Perryman stepped in it. A lot.

Murphy’s Law says if anything can go wrong, it will. Perryman’s Law says if anything can hurt, it will. For Steve, the two work in tandem with hilarious results.

From childhood mischief to joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 16, this is the story of a clueless new member and his journey of becoming. It follows him from serving a mission in London, England, to fifteen years as a paramedic on the streets of Sydney, Australia.

Steve’s path was rarely smooth and never normal. Very few missionaries can say they used an umbrella to fight an evil monster in the bathroom. Even fewer can say they’ve been surrounded by police while sitting in a stolen car.

But behind the laughter sits a hard question. What happens when the faith you built your life on quietly stops making sense? Somewhere between the mission field and the back of an ambulance, Steve lost his footing. He did what many do. He quietly walked away.

This is not a story about flawless faith. It is a story about stumbling, wandering, and finding the way back, one humbling step at a time.

Footprints in the Humble Pie is a reminder to anyone who has stumbled, wandered, or wondered whether it’s too late to try again: it isn’t.

Real, honest and thought-provoking, this laugh-out-loud memoir will leave you lighter and full of hope.
