When a homeless man confronts the parishioners of First Church of Raymond with their lack of Christ like mercy, the trajectory of their lives is forever changed. Embarrassed and convicted, Pastor Henry Maxwell challenges the congregation to commit to a full year of life beyond Christianity as usual. Before every decision, they will ask themselves one question: What would Jesus do?

But the congregation finds that this is easier said than done, as family strife, politics, and scorned lovers test their resolve-and they soon see how a simple question can cause major ripples far beyond their quiet little church. This classic that has been inspiring and challenging readers to a spiritual adventure for over a century now gets an updated look for a new generation.
