In His Steps (Modern Edition‪)‬

What if a whole community agreed to ask one simple question before every decision—large or small—and actually live by the answer? In His Steps is the classic novel that gave the world the "What Would Jesus Do?" movement. This modern English edition preserves the power and heart of Charles M. Sheldon's original, while making it clear and accessible for today's reader. The story begins when a ragged stranger challenges the comfortable congregation of First Church of Raymond to truly follow Jesus for one year. As pastor Henry Maxwell and his parishioners—a newspaper editor, a wealthy heiress, a young musician, a shopkeeper—begin to take their pledge seriously, their lives and their town are transformed in unexpected ways. Sheldon's compelling narrative explores themes of social justice, personal sacrifice, and authentic faith, asking each of us: Are you willing to follow Jesus wherever that may lead? This edition updates the language without losing the spirit, inviting a new generation to experience this beloved, world-changing story. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
