Book excerpt: What does it mean to follow in the steps of Jesus? Such is the question posed by a disheveled young vagrant who interrupts the morning service in the First Church of Raymond. Responding to the eloquent sermon's call to "follow Christ," the ailing stranger confronts the astounded parishioners with the treatment he received in their town the week prior. Compelled to reply to the visitor's implications, Reverent Maxwell proposes the plan of a year-long pledge to his flock. Impressed to accept the challenge, a small band of affluent and influential members promise to live their lives for one year asking the question in their daily decisions, "What would Jesus do?" Though written in 1896 the story of this book remains as timeless and relevant today as it will be for generations to come. -- Inside cover.
