The town of Possum, Virginia has a live manger display in the town square. When a lawyer for the ACLU arrives and serves 'Joseph' with a summons to appear in court. The judge sides with the ACLU and Thomas Hammond (Joseph) along with the town, try to find a way around the court order to cease and desist. Thomas is willing to spend time in jail for his beliefs, and the judge does not hesitate to send him to jail-until Dec. 26 or an apology is issued. When Thomas finally apologizes to the judge and the court, he leaves jail to once again assume the part of Joseph, this time with a surprising Mary at his side. A bit of US apologetics, dealing with "the war on Christmas". The hammonds aren't particularly sympathetic characters (they let a child die whilst praying for a miracle cure). To be honest I'm on the side of the ACLU who are very much painted as the bad guys. That aside this is an easy reading legal procedural, sprinkled with basketball and a bit of the religious right. As others have said the end is more than a little cheesy. Not a Christmas classic, but not outright unreadable polemic either. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Caught in the middle is law student Jasmine Woodfaulk, assigned to represent Thomas as part of her schoolâ??s legal aid clinic. Only a surprising series of events can reconcile a stubborn father, a crusading law student, and a recalcitrant judge.
