In His Steps

What Would Jesus Do? In 1896, Charles M. Sheldon, a Congregational minister who preached popular sermons that focused on Christ's example, challenged his congregation with the question, "What Would Jesus Do?" The question, along with an impassioned plea from a mysterious stranger, stirred several members, all hungry for change deep within their own hearts, into action. The intertwining stories of an heiress, newspaper editor, college president, and local beauty queen, first published as a serial and then as an inspirational novel, were transformative and prompted readers to explore and reflect upon how to apply Christian ethics toward solving social issues such as injustice, crime, and poverty. Featuring a new foreword by pastor, author, and popular blogger John Pavlovitz, this classic, soul-stirring novel continues to speak to modern readers, encouraging them to "follow Him who is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life."
