In His Steps
'In His Steps' Summary
The novel begins with a sermon delivered by the Reverend Henry Maxwell, who challenges his congregation to commit to a year of living by the principle of asking themselves, "What would Jesus do?" in every decision. This challenge sparks a wave of changes within the community, as individuals confront their own selfishness and strive to live lives of service. The story unfolds through a series of individual and collective experiences, showcasing the positive impact of selfless actions and the struggles that arise when personal desires conflict with Christ-like values. As the year progresses, the congregation faces numerous challenges, including poverty, injustice, and moral dilemmas. The novel explores the consequences of following Christ's teachings, both for individuals and for the community as a whole. Through its characters' journeys, 'In His Steps' explores the transformative power of faith and the importance of living a life guided by love, compassion, and self-sacrifice. It serves as a reminder that true Christian living requires more than simply attending church services; it demands a dedication to living out the principles of Jesus Christ in every aspect of life.Book Details
