In His Steps (2013)

In His Steps: Directed by Zack Lawrence. With Laura Lieben, Rebekah Cook, Ken Lawrence, Kent Cox. When a homeless man interrupts the comfortable routine of First Church of Raymond, life will never be the same for the apathetic congregation.

“In His Steps is another Christian film started out with good intentions about trying to live as Jesus actually lived. But an amateurish production and an amateurish cast really bog this one down. The acting is on the level of the high school drama club.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA homeless guy who is looking for work gets kicked to the curb by a few people when heu0026#39;s looking for work. At church service he interrupts the pastor and challenges people to live their lives by what they hear and not just save the nostrums for Sunday service. Many try to do just that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTwo things this film doesnu0026#39;t deal with at all. Many of the homeless are mentally ill and thatu0026#39;s been so since the 70s when mental health services began to be cut. Not a word mentioned here. Secondly a great many of us more and more also since the 70s live paycheck to paycheck. Many too many live our lives that way and this film never questions the basic assumptions of why our society is that way. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis one is strictly for church folks and their insular world.”
