In His Steps

With 30 to 50 million copies sold and over a century of readership, In His Steps has earned its place as one of the most influential Christian novels ever written. The WWJD premise is simple but powerful, and Sheldon traces its ripple effects across a whole community with enough variety to hold attention across denominational lines. The late-19th-century prose will feel slow to some modern readers, but the core story holds up and the theological idea at its center is as challenging now as it was in 1896.
