Jesus Is Here
About this audiobook
What if Jesus suddenly appeared on the streets of your own city? This is the premise of Jesus Is Here, Charles M. Sheldon’s sequel to his classic novel In His Steps, the book that introduced the slogan, “What Would Jesus Do?”
Years ago, members of the First Church of Raymond pledged to consider “What would Jesus do?” before taking any action, however large or small. Now, the Reverend Henry Maxwell and his congregation find themselves delving even deeper into the Christian life—by experiencing the very presence of Jesus in their midst. Jesus Is Here is a challenging, thought-provoking story, a reminder that the story of Jesus did not end on a cross two millennia ago but continues today. Join the church members of Raymond as they learn that Jesus is alive, here and now.
