Overview

In His Steps takes place in the railroad town of Raymond USA. The main character is the Rev. Henry Maxwell, pastor of the First Church of Raymond, who challenges his congregation to not do anything for a whole year without first asking: What Would Jesus Do? Other characters include Ed Norman, senior editor of the Raymond Daily Newspaper, Rachel Winslow, a talented singer, and Virginia Page, an heiress, to name a few.

The novel begins on a Friday morning when a destitute appears at the front door of Henry Maxwell while the latter is preparing for that Sundays upcoming sermon. Maxwell listens to the destitutes helpless plea briefly before curtly brushing him away and closing the door. The same destitute appears in church at the end of the Sunday sermon, walks up to the front of the pulpit and faces the people. No one stops him. He quietly but frankly confronts the congregationIm not complaining; just stating facts.about their compassion, or lack thereof, for the homeless like him in Raymond. Upon finishing his address to the congregation, he collapses and dies a few days later.

That next Sunday, Henry Maxwell, deeply moved by the events of the past week, presents a challenge to his congregation: Do not do anything without first asking, What would Jesus do? This challenge is the theme of the novel and is the driving force of the plot.
