In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do? is Charles M. Sheldon’s influential Christian novel that sparked a global movement and popularized the enduring question: What would Jesus do?
Set in a Midwestern American town, the story follows a group of ordinary people—pastors, journalists, business leaders, and families—who commit to making every decision as Jesus would. As they attempt to live out this pledge, they confront social injustice, economic inequality, personal sacrifice, and the cost of true discipleship.
Blending fiction with moral challenge, Sheldon exposes the gap between professed belief and daily action. The novel addresses issues such as poverty, labor exploitation, media responsibility, and faith in public life, urging readers to apply Christian principles beyond church walls.
Simple, sincere, and deeply challenging, In His Steps remains a timeless call to practical Christianity—essential reading for individuals, study groups, and anyone seeking to live faith with integrity and compassion.
