About This Book

A small-town minister's public challenge leads members of his congregation to pledge to ask what Jesus would do before every choice, and the narrative follows several townspeople as they attempt to live by that standard. Their efforts produce sacrifices, moral dilemmas, shifts in employment and relationships, and clashes with social expectations. Episodes centered on different individuals alternate with sermons and community scenes, examining practical Christian discipleship, moral courage, and the often-unintended consequences of trying to imitate a single model of conduct.
