In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?

By: Charles M. Sheldon

Narrated by: Brian D'eon

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do? has sold more than 30 million copies, and ranks as the 39th best-selling book of all time. The main character is the Rev. Henry Maxwell, pastor of the First Church of Raymond, who challenges his congregation to not do anything for a whole year without first asking: “What would Jesus do?” Other characters include Ed Norman, senior editor of the Raymond Daily Newspaper; Rachel Winslow, a talented singer; and Virginia Page, an heiress, to name a few.

Although the book was originally published in 1896, modern listeners will find themes that resonate with the current religious and political atmosphere. What does it mean to be a Christian and a citizen? Does the church reflect the teachings of Christ in daily life, or are Sunday sermons and hymns merely virtuous platitudes? Follow the lives of seven Christians as they wrestle with the practical implications of living the gospel.

a challenge worth reading

How timely that a book written so long ago should resurface and once again grace is with it's wisdom. "In His Steps" is a beautiful challenge to the body of Christ that has grown fat and soft with complacency. We gather together in worship palaces where we're entertained for a few hours and never really enter into the presence of God. This book was very encouraging and convicting, and finished with a challenge for those who follow Christ to get out of the pews and into the public.

phenomenal perspective and story.

this was truly inspirational and has caused me to reevaluate my discipleship of Christ.

I struggled to relate and enjoy the reader however the content is Good inspired and is of far greater worth than my preference for a reader.

Wonderful

Very thought provoking
Questions you really want to ask your self. You must enjoy the second in the series Jesus is Here

In HIS Footsteps

If My People Who Are Called By MY Name Would Humble Themselves . This book was such a reminder about how we as Christians should act. If we just do our part and treat people as God sees them this world would be a better place.

Very inspiring book!

I do not read very many books, but I en
joyed this one. While not historical it is interesting to follow the characters of this book through their choice to act as they believe Jesus would and see the consequences, good or not, and then how they respond.

In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?

At first I thought that this was outdated and pretentious. As I listened to the story I realized that even though economic and social issues were different (at least for me), the main focus in living was the same. I believe that God calls each of us to make a sacrifice in living which is unique to us as individuals, besides the fact of generally living with Christian attributes. We know and He knows what that calling is and that is what He holds us accountable for. I think that is what this story is about.

Very inspiring look at the beginning of the WWJD movement, that was inspired by this fictional novel.

Excellent story though it was written about a different time it is still inspiring to see a life lived well for God with our constant thought on obedience to God.

Eye opening, real, a needed perspective!
