Publisher Description

Over 100 years ago, Reverend Charles Sheldon stepped up to the pulpit to deliver a sermon to his little flock of Congregationalists. Little did he know that his humble parable would evolve into a novel that would be published in 45 languages and affect the lives of at least 15 million people. A desperate, unemployed printer, looking for help in the mythical town of Raymond, is ignored until he's on the verge of dying. His last words, as he collapses in front of a church congregation, point out the difference between believing in Christianity and actually living it. The death of the homeless man becomes the catalyst for a year-long pact. What happens when an entire congregation decides to stop before every decision and ask itself, What would Jesus do? In His Steps is a book about life. Few books, other than the Bible, have been so widely circulated. Since its first publication, this inspirational classic has never been out of print. Its simple message transcends literature, theology, and religion.

"I just reread this classic for the third time, and just as always it shook up my view of christianity. It is a novel about a pastor that challenges his church not to do anything without first asking "What would Jesus do?" As each of the doctors, buisnessman, authors, newspapaer editors, etc... do this very thing, it begins to shake up not only their lives but the enviroment of the town in which they live. Ultimately, the movement begins to spread to other cities and states. I wonder what would happen to this country if all of us that claim to be christians, would start acting as Jesus would act?"

    " This is a great book for those who have the desire to live the Gospel and not just read about it... "

    " I really like the IDEA of this book - a pastor challenges his congregation to not do anything for a whole year without first asking, "What would Jesus do?" and then committing themselves to do that very thing. Half-way through the book, though, I had to force myself to keep going. The author beats you over the head with his agenda so many times that you get sick of it. It also bothered me that he never included a character with kids in the book. What? Only non-parents can become Christ-like? That said, I have been asking myself, "what would Jesus do?" more often. "

    " One of my all-time favorite books. It is about people in a town who decided they would do nothing until they had asked themselves, "What would Jeus DO?". "

    " I didn't give this book much hope when I first picked it up simple because it was so over publicized at one point. But it was a great book! A real challenge to me in my Christian walk. "

    " This is a book I enjoy reading time and again. Although some of the events that take place are locked in their time, the message always reaches into my heart and renews the question of how literally I am following Jesus' commands. "

    " I found this book years ago in a stack of books I inherited from my great grandfather and fell in love with it! This is where the phrase, "What would Jesus do?" originated. "

    " The concept of the book was great, but it was a little repetitive on its theme to get rid of saloons so at times the book bogged down. "

    " A classic of sorts. A familiar scenario that kept this reader intrigued to the end. A "prequel" perhaps to Warren's 40 day plan. I really like this book and has powerful lessons. "

    " You have to remember this was written about 115-years ago. It makes one think what the world would look like if everyone lived like this...I doubt this will ever happen. "

    " Really good, and very moving. While I think some readers need to remember the era in which it was written, other events seem very universal. I would recommend this to Christians just starting out and for those that have been Christians for a long time. I really enjoyed it. "

    " A good book that provokes thought about the daily decisions we make and the way we use the life we're given. I'm not really a novel man so didn't enjoy it that much, but you can see why it's a popular book. If you're into novels then I recommend it, it's not too long and worth a read. "

    " The original WWJD, circa 1900. Perennial question, but I don't consider this to be a serious answer even for its day. More about class issues for the upwardly-mobile and religious "enthusiasm" but these points are equally valid today. "
