Rev. Henry Maxwell, speaking slowly and determinedly, yet not fully
realizing the implications of what lay ahead of him, repeated his
astounding proposition, "I want volunteers from First Church who
will pledge themselves, earnestly and honestly, for an entire year;
not to do anything without first asking the question, 'What would
Jesus do?'"Maxwell never dreamed that among those who responded
would be the most influential members of his congregation, the
wealthy heiress with her millions at stake, the newspaper editor
with his job on the line, the president of the local college, the
town beauty. But together they pledged themselves to a new step of
faith that would change, not just a handful of people, but an
entire town-for good.This timeless classic by Charles Sheldon has
blessed millions of people around the world who have asked the
vital question, "What does it really mean to be a Christian?"

One of the best-selling books of all time and an inspirational
classic, this 1896 phenomenon popularized the question "What would
Jesus do?" American minister CHARLES MONROE SHELDON (1857-1946) was
renowned as a preacher more concerned with practical perspectives
on living a moral life than on other rarefied theological matters
removed from the experiences of ordinary Christians. It was in this
novel that many of his own sermons came together in fictional form,
through one Reverend Henry Maxwell, of the imaginary Eastern town
of Raymond, who inspires his congregation to let the question "What
would Jesus do?" guide their actions. Those seeking a virtuous path
through everyday life continue to turn to this beloved book even
today, more than a century after it was written. It remains a
comfort to the soul for readers the world over.
Deeply shaken by the apprearance of a mysterious stranger in town
and his impassioned pleas for the poor and downtrodden, the
minister and five influential parishoners begin a year-long
experience in Christianity. Each has resolved to conduct his life
according to the precepts of Christ, applying His behavior to their
own lives.
