New feature film *Christmas Child* is based on book by Christian
writer Max Lucado titled *Christmas Child* (formerly titled The
Christmas Cross):

A Chicago journalist finds himself in a small Texas town on Christmas
eve. Lonely and alone, he encounters old faces and new facts...a hand
carved manger, a father's guilt, a young girl's faith. The trip into
the past holds his key to the future, and a scarlet cross shows him
the way home. This Christmas treasure, formerly titled The Christmas
Cross now repackaged and redesigned, is quickly becoming a Christmas
classic.

The book takes place in three different settings with four main
characters. The film has expanded to include nearly 69 locations, 347
set-ups, 34 speaking parts and over 300 extras.

The Christmas Child feature film is directed by Bill Ewing, the
former Senior Vice-President of Sony Pictures, whose last films
included Men in Black II and Spiderman. The film is produced by Tom
Newman of Impact Productions and Penelope Foster, producer of Free
Willy, Rosewood and many more.The main character, Jack, is played by
William Moses (of Perry Mason and Falcon's Crest).

His wife, Meg, is played Megan Follows (of Anne of Green Gables).
Also features Steven Curtis Chapman as the town's minister.

The scheduled release date is November 2003. For more information:
