In His Steps Extract for a Church Parable
A dramatized excerpt from Charles M. Sheldon’s In His Steps follows Henry Maxwell’s act of self sacrifice by funding a struggling urban family’s summer retreat. Maxwell’s decision, hidden from his flock, deepens his personal conversion and tests the First Church’s unity amid nervous reformers. The narrative shifts to Jasper Chase’s isolated writing and moral struggle, as the summer heat and personal vows press toward a decisive literary path.
