When my wonderful mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, our family’s fervent prayers for her recovery made me think back on the experience of praying for my own dear mother’s recovery from the same illness fourteen years earlier. When I was twenty-two, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I learned the devastating news while on a Study Abroad at the BYU Jerusalem Center. When I received that call, I was standing at a pay phone on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. I was in the land where the Lord had performed so many miracles, and I knew He could heal my mother. I just needed to have enough faith!

Christmas Eve, which stars Sir Patrick Stewart and Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder, is a story of six groups of New Yorkers who spend Christmas Eve stuck in elevators. It's not a horror movie, saysChristmas Eve director Mitch Davis, "but it is dramatic . . . it's also a little comedic and—dare I say it?—transcendent." Davis, an active Latter-day Saint, also directed the 2001 Disney film The Other Side of Heaven, which brought the missionary adventures of Elder John H. Groberg to the big screen.
