Footprints of God DVD’s

Footprints of God DVDs in Iraq!

by Steve Ray on October 21, 2007

Dear Steve: Thank you so much for sending the Apostolic Fathers. I hope it arrives soon. I've been using the other 6 DVD's in our Bible study/RCIA meetings. They are well loved be everyone. I've had hundreds of reverts, many non-Catholic interest, actually have had nearly 50 converts, about 20 baptisms and 30 more confirmations. [...]

World Premier of Apostolic Fathers!

by Steve Ray on October 4, 2007

Update after the World Premier: After fighting off the paparazzi and wading through the cameras and press, my chauffer (me) dropped me off in the parking lot. Blinded by the camera flashes I stepped the podium to thank everyone. We can't take ourselves too seriously, eh? Need to have a little fun and levity once in a [...]

My Interview on Zenit

by Steve Ray on September 19, 2007

It is always surprising to read through Zenit Catholic News and find my interview. The Zenit.org news interviewed me a few weeks ago and wonder of wonders — there it was today! The interview was given in honor of Pope Benedict's proclamation that this was the year of St. Paul in honor of the 2000th [...]

Where’s Waldo – opps, I mean where’s Steve

by Steve Ray on August 24, 2007

We spent the evening with angels! Well, not really angels in the strict biblical sense, but certainly in the more popular sense. Just listen to them sing and laugh and pray; watch them glide across the floor, smile with joy, and demonstrate the love of Christ and tell me they don't sound  and appear as angels. [...]

Just about DONE!!!!

by Steve Ray on July 23, 2007

We are again in the edit bay this week finishing Apostolic Fathers. We have lion's roaring, fire burning ME at the stake, Christian blood splattering on the white sand of the arena. We explain Tradition, the Papacy, relics, suffering, death and resurrection. We think this could be our best DVD yet — in our humble opinion. [...]

Virtual Tourist Comments

by Steve Ray on July 7, 2007

The Virtual Tourist reviewed this way: If you want to visit the Holy Land as part of a packaged tour, be sure to check out the trips offered by author Stephen Ray. His "Footprints of God" series is highly informative and the off-beat way he presents the information will give you a good laugh or [...]

Light at the End of the Edit Bay

by Steve Ray on June 14, 2007

We have two more days of work on this trip. We have gotten a lot done — we've put the rough cut together. We've chosen all the art, created the maps, inserted background and travel footage  and started reviewing the music. We got the last catchup shots and filmed "Behind the Scenes" in the set that [...]

Tomorrow Pope Benedict XVI will ordain 22 new priests in St. Peters at the 9 AM Sunday Mass. We just received tickets from Legionairie Brother Ben Cieply — with seats near the high [...]

Fighting Every Obstacle in Rome

by Steve Ray on April 27, 2007

Fighting police and ambulance sirens, gawking tourists, packed streets, whining moter scooters, police wanting permits and multiple other obstacles, we still got a lot of good work done today. Even two medical emergencies back home weighed on our minds but did not stop us. Our crew is spectacular. Only scenes inside the Roman Colosseum remain [...]
