Baby Jesus and a Light Bulb is a heartfelt and humorous true story that starts with a crumpled yard sale nativity set and grows into a testimony of faith, resilience, and unexpected miracles. When Jim's wife Susie gleefully brings home a truck full of life-sized plastic animals and biblical figures-minus the manger-he's reluctantly pulled into a project that becomes far more than a backyard Christmas display.
Between tangled extension cords, flickering light bulbs, and midnight phone calls about fallen camels, Jim's faith is tested in the most ordinary ways. But everything changes when he meets a kind highway patrol officer-first during a friendly roadside encounter, and later in the ICU after a brutal shooting during a routine traffic stop. Jim and two church members pray at the officer's bedside, and a miracle unfolds.
This story is about small things with eternal meaning: broken light sockets, stubborn snow, a star that just won't hang right-and the healing power of prayer. In a world full of noise and distraction, Baby Jesus and a Light Bulb remind us that sometimes, the most profound encounters with God happen through extension cords, quiet visits, and a yard full of plastic saints.
