In the FOOTSTEPS of JESUS

One Man's Journey Through the Life of Christ Bruce Marchiano, Book and AudioBook Published by Harvest House Publishers and Visual Entertainment Inc. Good Views [Home][Next][Videos][Reviews][Order][Links][©] Jesus ... sweat glistening on the brow ... gentle eyes that look deep into your soul and inescapably breathe "I love you" with every glance. And a smile as big as the sun, beaming at you and you alone as if you're the only person on the planet ... Jesus When Hollywood actor Bruce Marchiano landed the role of Jesus in The Gospel According to Matthew, he could never have imagined the awe-inspiring experience of walking in the footsteps of the Savior. Come with Bruce on an intensely personal journey into the heart of God-from the joy of healing a beloved child to the emotional isolation and physical devastation of the cross. The Jesus you discover will move you to tears, fill your heart with joyous victory, and astound you with His amazing love. Jesus, who stretches out a calloused but gentle hand, looks you in the eye, and says, "Come to me ... and you will find rest for your souls." Marchiano, the first professing Christian to play Jesus in a film of this magnitude, writes from the heart in a conversational friend-to-friend style, sharing his gripping story of walking in the foot-steps of Jesus. "In doing the film -- in walking through His life, in speaking His words, and more than anything else, in hanging on a cross -- I fell in love with Jesus. Oh, who I discovered Him to be!" Marchiano communicates his experience as an encouragement to take another look at the Jesus who is often lost in somber teachings -- the Lord who freely shares His affection, compassion, and joyful spirit with His children. More than 50 color and black-and-white photos from the film are placed throughout the book. Marchiano also narrates an audiobook of the same title.

The wonderful thing about Bruce Marchiano's playing the role of Jesus is that it's not a job in his mind - it's a ministry; and it's not a character he's playing, but his Savior, for whom he lives constantly and serves faithfully.	Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus moved me to tears. His story of discovering a God who truly cares and loves us with an overwhelming love will grip your heart.
