Synopsis

Charles Sheldon was a 19th century American Congregational minister. He became a part of the Christian Socialism movement in the last part of the 19th century. He gave less importance to the doctrinal traditions and more emphasis on the practicalities of moral life. In His Steps: "What Would Jesus Do" was published in 1896. It is listed as the 39th most popular best selling book ever written. Because of an improper copywrite, the book was published in several forms and at a reduced price, which helped increase it's sales.

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?"
