This is the story of an out-of-town carpenter, who notices a minister "trying" to build a large Nativity scene in front of his church. Jess offers to erect it, as a favor.
A high school girl needs to compose a story about Christmas, or flunk her class. Jess helps her along, and everyone else he meets.
This movie moves along pretty slowly (a definite plus for me), and shows the transformation in several people. Spirituality is different from religiosity (spiritual is about feelings ... religion is about rules). This is a feel-good movie.
The most memorable line in the movie goes something like this: What if.the world threw you a Christmas party and you were the only one not invited?
The movie is a reminder that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. It's not about glitz and glamor.
Too many people get wrapped up in wishing everyone, "Happy Holidays" so as not to offend non-Christians. Well, I say, "Merry Christmas!" We have to fight for what's right and not be afraid to stand up for what's right.
I have to admit I got a little bit choked up several times. The Perfect Gift was heartwarming and inspiring.
I've seen several Jefferson Moore movies and I love them all. I recommend them highly.
I decided to turn on TBN and here was this movie. It has to be the best movie I have seen about Christmas. I was so moved and touched. I want to share it with everyone! I learned a lot too. The meanings behind so many of the things we tend to take for granted and very special meanings.
I love all of Jefferson Moore's and Kelly's Filmworks movies, but this was right on time.
And of course, God brought it to me in His time.
Thank you guys for a job well done. God Bless you and your family and
Merry Christmas!!
