    About this ebook

    Charles Sheldon’s WWJD? was a significant challenge in its time, but God calls us to do more than wait until we are facing a decision and then choose to do what we think Jesus would do. We are to incarnate Christ in our time, being conscious of the presence and power of God within us in all of our thoughts and actions. This is what pastor Steve Long wants his congregation to understand. When Long challenges his prominent but self-satisfied congregation to become a living force for Christ in their small North Georgia town, he is blindsided by personal trials. Responding to Christ’s command “As the Father has sent me, so I send you,” Pastor Long tackles these difficult situations—and more—over a tumultuous week of trials and testing and ultimately learns (as he leads) what it means to walk In His Place.

      Definitely food for thought. This book encourages us to build from asking what would Jesus do (WWJD) to being the hands and feet of Jesus in today's world. The challenge is given in the form of a story.A pastor receives a letter from what he thought was a very involved and connected church member. The letter comes a day after the man committed suicide and states that loneliness was the reason. This starts the pastor wondering how the man could have been lonely if he was part of the church.I can see how it is possible to be part of something but yet not feel connected to it or to feel included in it. The pastor challenges his congregation in a sermon meant to motivate them, but some take it as scolding or blaming them for what happened. This group includes the head of the church board. The pastor and his teen son have communication issues--mostly because the pastor keeps putting off talking to his son. A school shooting brings home to him that he can't keep assuming he will have a tomorrow to clear this up. The pastor also agrees to do a service for the school shooter because of the challenge he recently issued to his congregation. The school shooter dies but many want to blame the mother for her son's actions. The church board head's wife was a victim in the shooting also--something the man thinks is directly related to the challenge the pastor issued (despite several telling him that his wife would have done the same thing with or without the challenge). In the end, the two men need to come together to save the mother from a lynch mob.
