In His Steps

By: Charles M. Sheldon

Narrated by: Simon Vance

One hundred years ago Christians read Charles Sheldon’s In His Steps with runaway enthusiasm. Sheldon’s story traces the account of the fictional Reverend Maxwell who challenges himself and his congregation to constantly ask, “What would Jesus do?” This question puts all of life’s circumstances in a new light. Those characters in Sheldon’s book who take the challenge of this question seriously live dramatically changed lives.

But a changed life responding to Jesus’ example of compassion and grace does not always make things easier. People in Sheldon’s story learn that acting like Jesus can alienate others who prefer status quo comfort and social respectability. The real challenge of the question, “What would Jesus do?” is not the initial fervor it evokes but the sustained devotion it can produce.

Something to think about!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, the story kept my interest to the end.

What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?

Simon Vance has the voice that changes with each character. I recognize the various characters he makes sound so real. I like his technique very much.

The original WWJD story

I have always loved this book even though it’s very dated having been written at the end of the 19th century. (Charles Sheldon has updated the story for the 21st century and it’s also very good.). For anyone wanting to live a life more closely aligned with Christ, this is an excellent place to start.

Awesome in every way

What an inspiring and challenging story! I was greatly blessed by the story, the message, and the examples given.

highly recommend

I loved this book and the narrator.
It inspired me to want a much closer walk worth Jesus.
