Champions of Faith DVD - The Bases of Life

Product Description

One of the most acclaimed Catholic films in recent memory now has a sequel! Champions of Faith: The Bases of Life follows the multiple award-winning Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, providing an emotional and faith-filled look inside the personal lives of some of America's most beloved baseball heroes. The second film in Catholic Exchange's Champions of Faith series, The Bases of Life, stars Mike Piazza, Darrell Miller, Tom Glavine, Jeff Suppan and others, and uncovers in a striking way the true meaning of faith and God's message of love and forgiveness to mankind.

This stunning presentation of major sports stars' fidelity to prayer and the sacraments of the Church is like no other faith formation tool ever produced – including the first Champions of Faith film. "The Bases of Life is unique," explained Tom Allen, the film's producer/director. "We go inside the home and family lives of Mike Piazza and Darrell Miller. We go inside St. Andrew's and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City – even into the crypt where Archbishop Sheen and Cardinal Cooke are buried! We were given amazing access for this project and the result is a uniquely powerful film about how to live a truly Catholic life."

Aimed primarily at men and boys who hold these sports heroes in high esteem, the film takes a unique approach to highlighting the power and meaning of prayer, Reconciliation and the Eucharist, displaying the power of God in a way that people can understand and enjoy.
