First published in 1896, 'In His Steps' is a religious fiction novel by Charles M. Sheldon, an American Congregationalist minister and leader of the Social Gospel movement. A longtime pastor in Topeka, Kansas, Sheldon was an early proponent of civil rights and social services for African Americans and a strong believer in putting one's religion into practice in daily life. This is a book about life, which has been so widely circulated. Its simple message tops literature, theology, and religion. An anguished, unemployed printer, looking for assistance in the mythical town of Raymond, is ignored until he's on the threshold of starving. His last words, as he tumbles in front of a church congregation, point out the disparity between believing in Christianity and actually living it. The death of the homeless man becomes the spur of a year-long pact. What happens when an entire congregation decides to stop before every decision and ask itself, "What would Jesus do?"

When a homeless man interrupts the comfortable routine of First Church of Raymond, life will never be the same for the apathetic congregation. Convicted by the vagrant's words, Pastor Henry Maxwell along with parishioners like singer Rachel Winslow, heiress Virginia Page, and railroad superintendent Alex Powers are thrust into a journey of discovering what life is like beyond "Christianity as usual." But as they find themselves opposed by family strife, church politics, and scorned lovers, will they be able to keep their commitment, or will they be dragged back into their conventional lives? Just as in Sheldon's day, the world needs to see the self-sacrificing love of Christ, not only in word but also in the lives of His present-day disciples.

This classic that has been inspiring and challenging readers to a spiritual adventure for over a century now gets an updated look for a new generation.
