Synopsis
What Would Jesus Do? In this inspirational classic novel, a minister challenges his congregation with the following words: "I want volunteers from First Church who will pledge themselves, earnestly and honestly, for an entire year, not to do anything without first asking the question, What Would Jesus Do?" The challenge, spurred by a mysterious stranger's impassioned plea, is answered by an heiress, a newspaper editor, a college president, and the local beauty queen. Their stories form the inspirational novel that popularized the expression, and offers contemporary readers a chance to ask themselves the same question.
A foreword by author and blogger John Pavlovitz puts the novel in today's context, and challenges readers to live by Jesus's example, which is kind, compassionate, and just.

From the Back Cover
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."
