In His steps

A single question leads a small town congregation to reexamine how they live. The Reverend Henry Maxwell and his parishioners have never seriously weighed the question put to them, until a stranger arrives and speaks with fervor about the needy and the overlooked. Shaken, the minister and five prominent members of his church agree to spend a year putting Christ's teachings into practice, measuring each choice in their daily lives against his example. Written by a Congregational minister, the novel was first published as a serial before appearing in book form.
