In His Steps (version 2 Dramatic Reading)

The novel that popularized "What would Jesus do?" and challenged generations of readers to examine their faith through action. When a troubled stranger collapses in Reverend Henry Maxwell's church and asks why Christians don't live the way Jesus taught, the pastor poses an audacious question to his congregation: Will you try to do only what Jesus would do, for an entire year? The answer seems simple. The execution is anything but. As each member grapples with what radical compassion actually demands, their comfortable lives begin to crack. Friendships strain. Convenient certainties shatter. And the true test of discipleship reveals itself not in pew-side piety but in the messy, costly business of loving real people. First published in 1896, this unexpectedly radical book remains a provocation: faith without action is just intellectual agreement with nice ideas. It asks the question that still cuts to the bone.
