In the Footsteps of Jesus Movie:

When you read about the cave at the end of Ephron's field, do you ever imagine what that actually looked like? Ever wonder if the field is still there? Do you envision the garden as you read Jesus' prayer? Or visualize the path that he walked as he carried the cross?

It is difficult to picture the surroundings in which Jesus and all of his biblical predecessors lived and preached, especially so if one has never seen the drastically different landscape, wildlife, and architecture of the Middle East. And while it's good for children to let their imaginations wander, adults really should know just how and where such important events took place. That is why DOKO Media commissioned the creation of three separate, feature-length films that carry one through the stories of the Bible and the history of the Holy Land.

"In the Footsteps of Jesus" guides you through the life, teachings, sojournings, and miracles of Jesus, from birth to presentation at the Temple, from Nazareth to Bethany, from the Mount of Olives to Calvary. Educational and inspirational narration tells the stories of each holy place in the words of the Bible along the way, transforming what might have once seemed like distant and ancient episodes into very real, very modern lessons for the present.

It is a good thing to have read the Bible. But it is a hard book to really know unless one has been to its home, has seen what it witnesses. "In the Footsteps of Jesus" turns the printed text into a living one so that you can not only now imagine it, but actually experience it.
