The Judge Who Stole Christmas by Randy Singer

5 Stars Out Of 5!

“I just can’t believe that in the United States of America we can’t even celebrate Christmas anymore.”

“Christmas is about Jesus, not Santa.”

“Stand up for what you believe in. If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”

Randy Singer, one of my favorites, has penned a great Christmas legal fiction novel with a title that plays upon “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” But in this book, it is a judge, though it is also the ACLU, threatening to remove Jesus and the manger scene from a town’s public display at Christmas time. Singer does a great job of showing the legal arguments on both sides, which I really enjoyed. As a Christian, Singer easily could have made this one-sided with one-dimensional characters and “villains.” But like always, he makes his characters and situations very real. Normally, I’m not a fan when I hear comparisons of Christian authors to big name authors like John Grisham; however, this one in particular definitely had the voice and style of a Grisham book. Add in the fact that it is a Christmas book, you’ve got yourself a perfect holiday read!
