A film every Christian should see,
By Lost in Twilight (Albany, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In His Steps (DVD)
"In His Steps," is based on the 1896 novel of the same name by Charles M. Sheldon. I have not read the book, although I certainly intend to after seeing this film, so I cannot say how faithfully it follows.
The premise of the film is the inspiration of the origination of the popular modern day question, "What would Jesus do?" It follows a group of Christians, including an aspiring actress and a newspaper publisher as the main characters that accept their pastor's challenge to seek a deeper relationship with Christ, and ask themselves, "Is there more to Christianity than faithfully attending church and being a good person?" I would be giving nothing away in the film by telling of this group's discoveries to the faithful few that already know, but I want to ensure my review is not omitted due to "spoilers." While I believe all Christians should see this highly inspirational film, it should be said that those inspired will likely only be people that are already Christians. Concerning film quality, it's not bad for 1964, and although I do not know this for fact, I would venture to say that it was funded and produced by a church group, because I just can't see Hollywood doing it, given the depth of the subject matter. "In His Steps," falls short of a perfect rating because I felt there could have been much more depth to the characters, and how their renewed commitment to Christ affected their lives and those around them (the film's run time is only 1 hour and 13 minutes). Also, while it did not affect my rating, I feel the story presented in the film desperately needs to be updated to present day, but the message is still there, powerful and true. The film's key verse: "Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in his steps." 1 Peter 2:21.

Glimpses of True Christianity,
By
This review is from: In His Steps (DVD)
An excellent Christian film which calls those who claim to follow Christ to lay down the pretense and seek to truly walk as He walked. A rebuke to the lipservice seen so often in "Christians" today.
I'm sure the book was excellent, but this film should be judged on its own merit, not compared to the book from which it originated. If you long for a deeper walk, take the message of this film to heart. God bless.

In His Steps Movie,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In His Steps (DVD)
I have been searching for this movie for a long time. I had it on vhs and loaned it to someone and it got lost. Every time I watch that movie it reminds me of what the christian life is suppose to be like. I used it for ministering to other people. Great item to buy. If you are a christian this is the movie that will make a difference in your spiritual life.
