This movie's story is roughly based on a wonderful old Christian classic book "In His Steps" by Chas Sheldon.
As in the movie, a church service is disrupted by a drifter (John Schneider) who wonders aloud about his and others' suffering in the face of Christians who don't seem to notice or...help.
It is pretty good where you see the powerful folks start to amend andnot only help individuals...but also...the slumlord will now improve/restore housing to the poor, and the local media head (the owner of the town paper) will cover the coming mayoral election...properly.
Their church building, unlike the book, is scheduled to be destroyed so a casino can be built.
but the stranger's words to the congregation and to others in the city of Raymond do propel to ask themselves. "What would Jesus do?" Indeed, there is a difference!
The film is scripted fairly decently and is suitable for families to view.
