Summary: The Next Step
Comment: I picked up a copy of this book a few years ago, but I never finished it because it didn't hold my attention at all. In retrospect, I wasn't ready for it. This book challenged my thinking more than I wanted it to. You may have heard that "In His Steps" is the origin of the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" That's true, but the book takes the question a step farther. The real question is "What would Jesus do if He were Gail Simmons?" (Ok, so you can insert your own name where I've put mine.) There's even another step after that which is implied rather than stated. Am I going to make the changes necessary to have my life come into line with my understanding of what Jesus would do in my place? The book is excellent, but don't read it unless you're prepared to examine your own life in ways you may have never imagined. I've heard it said that knowledge can condemn a person. Are you willing to take the next step to read this book? You'll either walk away changed or condemned.

Summary: Moving and challenging--be prepared before you read it!
Comment: I received this book from a friend on loan, and for weeks did not even bother to look at it again. When I finally picked it up, I literally could not put it down. I read the whole thing in one day! The writing style is skillful, suspenseful, and moves the reader along with the story. It is like a series of vignettes with a powerful common theme, and one feels as if he or she is actually watching the scenes unfold. The characters are real enough that the reader can see him or herself in them. Sheldon gets beyond preaching and bible verses, giving the reader a clear picture of what happens when Christian people impact the world, and the world fights back. It gave me a whole new outlook on the phrase "What would Jesus do?" It is a frightening yet inspiring challenge from which Sheldon never relents. Must reading for anyone who really wants to live by that creed!

Summary: Reflective
Comment: This book causes you to think thoughts you might not otherwise consider. It encourages a fresh approach to Christianity, a more authentic application of the teachings of Jesus.
The author's intent is to cut readers away from their preconceptions and see things without cultural limitations.
He talks about the "divine impulse" and quotes the Scripture that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. Sheldon writes, "If Jesus' example is the example for the world to follow; it certainly must be feasible to follow it." This book aims to demonstrate how practical Christianity is lived out in the day to day world.
