Reviews
“In His Steps really
influenced the way I think
about following Christ. Now,
sometimes before I do
something, the thought will
pop into my head, ‘What
would Jesus do?’”—Shelby
Swing
“One of the best read
Christian books is In His
Steps by Charles M.
Sheldon…. The publisher
failed to meet copyright
regulations, so Sheldon lost
legal ownership of the book.
Scores of publishers then
sold millions of copies, and
the author couldn’t claim
any royalties.”—Pastor
Ralph Diehl
