Description:
"What
would Jesus do...?" In an instant, the stranger's words died as
he crumpled to the floor.
When
a stranger arrives in Odyssey looking for work, a preoccupied Whit
turns him away. But when the man unexpectedly shows up at Whit's End
that evening and interrupts the kids' Bible Quiz contest, the
unimaginable happens - he suddenly collapses from a heart attack!
The
next morning in church, Whit wonders how he, as a Christian, should
have responded to this hurting, needy person. Then, he challenges
everyone to pledge that they will evaluate every decision they face by
first asking, "What would Jesus do?"
But
God's will is not always easy to determine, as Karen, Lucy, Oscar,
Matt, and Jack (even Whit!) soon discover. What would you do if
you found a school official accepting bribes? Or learned that the town
bullies had just stolen your friend's lunch money - again? After all,
the Bible doesn't include special verses on dealing with issues like
these, or does it?
Based
on the 1987 Charles Sheldon classic, "In His Steps."

Rating:
*****
This
book was definitely published at the time of the "WWJD"
bracelet craze. While the message is good, there are so many books on
the What Would Jesus Do? subject already and this is just like
them.
Book:
This novel is no longer available,
however, this book will be released in a new multivolume version of
the series soon.
