The Catholic Church may still exist in undiminished vigour when some traveler from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St Paul’s [Anglican Church].

The Execution & Burial of St. Paul
-- video on location
Janet and I are still in Rome and today we took a taxi outside the city walls to pay our respects to the great Apostle to the Gentiles, the author of Scripture and martyr for the faith -- Saul of Tarsus, turned Paul the Apostle.
First we went to Tre Fontane where he was beheaded, then to St. Paul Outside the Walls where he is buried. I took my video camera along so you could join us. Hope this helps you better celebrate the Year of St. Paul. Enjoy!

Recently I spoke on St. Paul at the Regina Apostolorum University in Rome. To see our full (and much more professional :-) documentary on St. Paul, click here.
Want to Walk in the Footprints of St. Paul?
 If you want to take a Footprints of St. Paul cruise -- we have just the trip for you. In March 2009 Janet and I have organized a Mediterranean cruise on a Greek ship hitting some of the most crucial sites related to Paul, including Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Perga, Tarsus, Antioch, and three days in Israel. You even get a bonus day in Egypt!
We will be aboard the Cristal (right). Sign up now because the cabins are almost all booked. See the brochure here and call 1-800-727-1999 and ask for Jeanine at Corporate Travel.

Recent Comments on the Footprints of God
Hi, Mr. Ray! I saw your "Indiana Jones" style DVD on the papacy at Bible study at our parish. I was so impressed, I asked our Priest if I could borrow it to show my husband. I believe your beautifully executed DVD is one of the instruments God is using to increase my beloved's faith in the Church. We look forward to viewing more in the series!
In Christ's love,
Mrs. Timothy D. Ellis
Thank you, I just received my order. I viewed some of the DVDs and want to say Bravo! They are extraordinary. I teach our Catholic Faith to third graders, and work with a Catholics come home ministry. I am so excited to incorporate your work into the curriculum this fall. God Bless you and your good work.

The "Footprints of God" series is phenomenal - I couldn't be more impressed. They really helps make the Bible "come alive." The videos contain fascinating and entertaining geographic and historical information, and the videography is spectacular. But more importantly, Steve (AKA "Jerusalem Jones") strongly defends the Catholic faith in his dialog. I just joined the Catholic Church this last year. My family is still Baptist, but they've been watching the DVDs enthusiastically, and the topics have been a catalyst for many good discussions about Catholicism. Steve's passion for the Catholic faith and the Holy Land are both obvious and contagious. Thanks, Steve!

Thank you for making the Apostolic Fathers video. It was very inspiring. My wife says YOU should be the next president! The programs are all very well done, I can tell they are a labor of love. May Our Lord Jesus bless your work adn enable you to complete it.

Dear Steve: I feel like I know you for a couple of reasons. I chair the theology department and have been teaching at Bishop England High School in Charleston, SC for some 25 years. (My wife Mary has taught with me for the last 12 years.) Over the last several years I’ve used (and now other in the dept.) all of your Footprints DVD’s as educational tools in the classroom. The response over the years has been fantastic and as I’ve said on your blog you’ve practically become a “cult figure” with my seniors!
The humor you incorporate into the series holds their attention as they never know what's coming next. We use three of the series with the seniors and the other day when I announced that the one on Mary would be the last they moaned and protested. I've noticed that they are always amazed that you and I give them the same information about the Catholic faith. Gee, I wonder what that's all about. Thank you for going to the time and expense to produce this great series!
