“In His Place: A Modern-Day Challenge in the Tradition of Charles Sheldon’s Classic ‘In His Steps’” by Harry C. Griffith
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a novel built around incarnating Christ in our everyday lives, but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. In fact, if it weren’t for previously scheduled commitments that afternoon I would have finished the book in one sitting.
The story definitely convicted me of areas where I fall short in my Christian walk and reminded me of how many people are hurting and misunderstood around us. It challenged me to always be thinking about how to be Christ to the world around me.
I also connected with the characters in the story and bonded with them almost immediately. And along with the content I loved the weight and feel of the book itself, the torn edges of the pages and even the cute doggie on the cover.
Thank you to my friend, Betty Baggott, for sending me the book and thank you to Harry Griffith for entertaining and challenging me at the same time.
