In His Steps by Charles M. Sheldon

"In His Steps" by Charles M. Sheldon is a religious fiction novel written in 1896. When a destitute man collapses in church after confronting an indifferent congregation, Reverend Henry Maxwell challenges his parishioners to spend one year asking themselves a single question before every action: "What Would Jesus Do?" This simple premise transforms the lives of ordinary citizens in Raymond, Kansas—a newspaper editor, a singer, an heiress, and others—as they grapple with faith, sacrifice, and social responsibility in unexpected ways.
