The one question that changed everything--"What would Jesus do?"

When Rev. Henry Maxwell asked the members of his small church to pledge not to do anything, whether significant or mundane, without first asking themselves the question "What would Jesus do?" he had no idea what the next year would bring. Neither did those who agreed to this seemingly easy task. One by one, their lives would change. But what they never anticipated was how their entire town would be affected.

Now the novel that has changed millions of lives can change yours as well. Discover this classic story for yourself and find out why the words penned more than a century ago are more powerful than ever.

Customer Reviews

Great Book

We are a small group reading the book and prompting discussions about what would Jesus do in our footsteps. This story really makes you stop and think.

A must read

A classic book, though it is fiction it will seriously challenge your priorities in life. The characters make a commitment to do nothing without first asking "What would Jesus do?", forcing them to reexamine their choices and decisions. As you see the self-denial they have to practice, and the results of it, it compels you to follow their example. I recommend this book to everyone.

Gentle reminder

This book although over 100 years old holds a gentle reminder that is still applicable in our modern society as to just what following Christ means. It holds no condemnation, simply a soft calling to everyone to be who God has created them to be in His love and grace. It is a book that should be in everyone's library to be picked up and read whenever one is feeling out of touch with God.

Outstanding educational tool - fun for kids

My children (8 and 10) and I read this book every night over a couple of weeks. It is designed to be read one chapter at a time with a lesson and related Bible chapters for discussion at the end of each. The kids were intrigued by the fictional story and couldn't wait to read the related Bible chapters. They enjoyed it so much that we started reading it again this week. We only wish there were more books like this available!
