A never-to-be-forgotten classic of religious fiction, In His Steps is a long-time bestseller, selling more than 30,000,000 copies and ranks as the 39th best-selling book of all time. For more than one hundred years, this classic novel has encouraged Christians to ask themselves "What would Jesus do?" before making any decision, however large or small. Charles M. Sheldon's story of a Midwestern pastor who energizes his own life, his church, and his entire community with that simple question has been a favorite for generations. Here 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 must read!
