Synopsis

"For more than a century In His Steps has helped Christians live more Christlike lives. I can't think of a novel that's had a greater impact on the faith of so many believers."
--Nick Harrison, author of 365 WWJD? Daily Answers to 'What Would Jesus Do?'

"What would Jesus do?" When several members of an ordinary American church are challenged to not take a single action without first asking that crucial question, they discover the power of God to transform their own lives--and their world. Charles M. Sheldon's provocative novel, originally published in 1896 and enthusiastically rediscovered by today's believers, testifies dramatically to the value of Christian witness in all of life.

Hendrickson Christian Classics is planned to include all the timeless books that generations of believers have treasured. Each volume in the series is freshly retypeset, while thoughtful new prefaces explore their spiritual and historical contexts. For contemporary readers, this is the essential library of Christian wisdom through the ages.

About this title

Review:

..."[This book] has opened up the personal interconnections within the movement as never before."

From the Back Cover:

Rev. Henry Maxwell, speaking slowly and determinedly, yet not fully realizing the implications of what lay ahead of him, repeated his astounding proposition, "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?'"Maxwell never dreamed that among those who responded would be the most influential members of his congregation, the wealthy heiress with her millions at stake, the newspaper editor with his job on the line, the president of the local college, the town beauty. But together they pledged themselves to a new step of faith that would change, not just a handful of people, but an entire town-for good.This timeless classic by Charles Sheldon has blessed millions of people around the world who have asked the vital question, "What does it really mean to be a Christian?"
