The penetrating and provocative question 'What would Jesus do?' in all of life's complex situations, is the central theme of this book. It is the soul-stirring novel of men and women torn between their faith and the demands, compulsions, and temptations of life. Dr. Henry Maxwell, respected pastor of the First Church of Raymond, struggled with the idea that Christian discipleship demanded more than mental assent. He vowed to preface every attitude and action of his own life with the question: What would Jesus do in this situation if He were me? Electrifying his congregation with the same challenge, people responded with agreement to try it for one year. This book is the moving, dramatic story of a handful of Americans--a newspaper editor, a college president, a railroad executive, a pastor, a singer, a writer, a wealthy philanthropist--who pledge to walk in 'the steps of Jesus.' At each turning point in their daily lives, they must ask: 'What would Jesus do?' For decades, readers have been gripped by this narrative and have been challenged by its implications for their own lives. In His Steps is a convincing testimony to the worth and influence of Christian witness in all of life. A Christian classic every Christian should read!

The alternate title for His Brother's Keeper is Christian Stewardship The book deals with the conflicts faced by two friends on opposite sides during a protracted strike in the iron mines as winter comes on and the mining families begin to truly suffer. How do the two of them manage to remain friends as the owners and the miners refuse to come to common ground? Eric must face the fact that the miners have been radicalized and no longer listen to his reasoned leadership of the strike. Stuart suddenly has control of the largest mining company, so he has enormous resources, but how can he best use it to help the miners, and how can he convince the other owners to recognize that the miners are deserving of recognition as humans and not mere tools for producing ore. The scenes in the mining region are based upon events which occurred during the great strike among the iron miners in the summer of 1895, and which were witnessed by the author. The Salvation Army songs are exact copies of songs actually sung by the army.
