His latest assignment as a journalist takes him to Dallas but a mysterious photograph draws him to the town of Clearwater, Texas. It is here he discovers the town's life sized intricately carved nativity. As Jack delves into the mysteries surrounding the nativity and it's creator, he uncovers secrets from his past , reunites with the family he never knew and returns to the love that never left him. An updating of Max Lucado's book "A Christmas Cross", this film is about a successful Chicago journalist, whose marriage is at a breaking point as he is about to celebrate both his 40th birthday and Christmas; he is sent away during the Holidays to Texas for a story, and there reflects on his life and its meaning. There is a lot in this film about adopted children, and the parents who take them into their hearts. The film has some nice music as well, and the Christmas show is laugh-out-loud hilarious, with children that will capture your heart. William Moses is convincing as Jack Davenport, Megan Fellows plays his wife Meg, who feels shut out of his life, and singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman plays Pastor Curtis, who reaches out to Jack with warmth and Christian love; Vicky Taylor Smith (Naomi) and Muse Watson (Jimmy) are among the excellent supporting cast. A small and unpretentious film that was shot mostly in Oklahoma in 3 weeks, its simplicity is one of its biggest charms; it's soapy but touching, and makes nice family fare. no reviews | add a review
