In His Steps, (Paperback)

<p><strong><em>In His Steps</em></strong> by Charles M. Sheldon is a moral and social novel that centers on a simple yet challenging question: <em>"What would Jesus do?"</em> Set in the fictional town of Raymond, the story follows a diverse group of individuals-a minister, journalists, business owners, politicians, and working people-who pledge to model every major decision in their lives after Christ's example. Their commitment quickly tests personal comfort, professional ambition, and social norms.</p><p>As characters attempt to live out this principle, they confront poverty, corruption, inequality, and ethical compromise. A newspaper editor risks circulation to report truthfully, a singer abandons fame for service, and a wealthy heiress redirects her fortune toward social reform. Sheldon presents faith not as abstract belief but as active responsibility, insisting that Christianity must shape everyday conduct and public life.</p><p>Written in a clear, accessible style, <strong><em>In His Steps</em></strong> blends fiction with social critique, addressing issues such as labor exploitation, temperance, and economic injustice prevalent in late nineteenth-century America. The novel's enduring influence lies in its call for personal accountability and compassionate action, urging readers to consider how moral choices-both small and large-can transform individuals, communities, and society as a whole.</p><p><strong>Quote from the book-</strong></p><p>"He had made money his god. As soon as that god was gone out of his little world there was nothing more to worship; and when a man's object of worship is gone he has no more to live for."</p><p> &amp;#8213; <strong>Charles M.
