It was written by Charles Sheldon, a man whose book is often associated with the social gospel movement. While some historians struggle over the significance of this work, it's pretty plain how it fits this movement.\nI invited patrons of the show to listen early and then discuss their thoughts on this controversial book.\nWhat did you think about the audiobook? Should I record other books this same way?\n\nDiscussion Questions:\n\nDid you enjoy "In His Steps"? Why or why not?\n\nHow do you think women were portrayed in "In His Steps"?\n\nWhat do you think about the Home Economics movement?\n\nHow did you see the social gospel in the book?\n\nIs the book evangelistic? At which points? If not, why not?\n\nDoes Christian media need to be "heavy handed"?\n\n\nRecommended Resources:\n\nIn His Steps by Charles Sheldon\n\nThe Secret History of Home Economics\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
