Synopsis

This classic fiction work challenges Christian understanding, interpretation, and application of God’s will.  Charles M. Sheldon, through the words of protagonist Rev. Henry Maxwell, encourages Christians to question every choice, every thought, and every motive against what they believe Jesus would do in the same situation.  This creates an environment of not only self-reflection and internal conviction, but also brings into question the influence and effectiveness of the church and its leadership.  Uprooting comfortable and stale Christianity, Sheldon promotes drastic spiritual growth, which is shown in this story to impact the individual as well as the community as a whole.

Goodreads review by Stephen on December 21, 2010

Rarely have I come across a book that I am so torn over as to how to rate it. Usually a book will be obviously good or bad, making the ultimate conclusion in rating it a fairly easy process.

Goodreads review by Paul on September 18, 2024

This is the original What Would Jesus Do? novel. It has a curious history. In 1896 this preacher Charles Sheldon thought up the famous challenge and had the lightbulb idea of incorporating it into his sermon in the form of an ongoing story – come back next week for part two, everybody! See what happ......more

Goodreads review by Werner on June 02, 2012

If you've ever seen anyone wearing a WWJD? (standing for "What would Jesus do?") bracelet, this is the novella that first popularized that question in some Christian circles.

My father was an investor in a bargain bookstore, and I enjoyed purchasing books there. I delighted in the se......more

Goodreads review by Cathryn on December 09, 2021

Written in 1896, In His Steps was probably the catalyst for the 1990s WWJD movement. The book is so much better as the 1990s WWJD was overly merchandised and marketed. The characters in the book sacrificed so much and were truly obedient to the Spirit. They were focused on how WWJD would serve other......more
