What's in THIS Brief Guide...
== List of all the Bible stories in the
program.
== Plus...some descriptions, graphics,
information and the following introduction...
Introduction
Footsteps
is a unique multimedia journey that follows the events of Christ's
life in the Holy Land. Users
will visit the Holy Land as they would see it today through dramatic 360 degree "photobubble"
technology of the sites. Part of the "hook" of this
program is the way students can move through it. It's usually
pretty cool. Each photobubble and regular photo also contains
a number of "hotspots" for the user to find and click
on to hear related scripture, historical, traditional and cultural
information, and enter into new scenes via "secret passageways.
Even the menus are unique, especially the main "stained
glass windows" menus. Wherever you are, take a look around
-- left, right, up, down and diagonally. Zoom in on special sites.
Look for the main controls to the program
always at your feet in every 360 degree photobubble.
The content of Footsteps parallels many
of the same subjects found in other programs recommended by our
ministry, especially the LIFE OF CHRIST CD, Disciple's Diary,
Pathways Through Jerusalem, and to some extent the Life of Jesus
CD, Amazing Expedition Bible, Bibleland.com. Bible Atlas and the Life Application Multimedia
Bible also cover many of the same locations and stories from
a slightly different angle. Thus, Footsteps could be one of several
programs used by students during a lesson to "research"
a subject in the life of Christ. Three sample lesson plans can be found at the end
of the full version of this guide.
