I watched you change
I look back at how I was living my life before I uttered the words; “I need you to choose a book for me.” I wondered why I was attending a church, and why I was a Christian. These somewhat perplexing questions made sense to me after reading In His Steps. I thought of it as just another book to read, but it was much more than that. It was an instrument that fulfilled your intentions of me examining my outlook on Christianity. You told me that the book portrayed the ideal life of a Christian and how one should have faith in God, despite of what may happen. At times the book was confusing to me. I didn’t fully comprehend why people would do such things as the characters in this book would do.

He asked his church to pledge that they would ask Jesus what He would do in matters that they faced and dwell on the thoughts of being more like Christ.
