A troubled youth vandalizes a church, then winds up in close association with the woodcarver whose work he destroyed.

Unable to cope with his divorcing parents' squabbles, 15-year-old Matthew Stevenson takes it out on his church. The godly old widower whose woodcarvings Matthew trashed takes him in as a worker to help repair the damage, which also provides the boy a quiet, safe harbor in which to consider WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?). That phrase gets back to his parents and influences them, and the family that had been disintegrating mends as it turns to God.—statmanjeff
