Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon.

Philip Strong could not decide what was best to do. The postman that evening had brought him two letters and he had just finished reading them. He sat with his hands clasped over his knee, leaning back in his chair and looking out through his study window. He was evidently thinking very hard and the two letters were the cause of it. Finally he rose, went to his study door and called down the stairs, "Sarah, I wish you would come up here. I want your help." "All right, Philip, I'll be up in a minute," responded a voice from below, and very soon the minister's wife came upstairs into her husband's study. "What's the matter?" she said, as she came into the room. "It must be something very serious, for you don't call me up here unless you are in great distress. You remember the last time you called me, you had shut the tassel of your dressing-gown under the lid of your writing desk and I had to cut you loose. You aren't fast anywhere now, are you?" Philip smiled quaintly. "Yes, I am. I'm in a strait betwixt two. Let me read these letters and you will see." So he began at once, and we will copy the letters, omitting dates.
Charles Monroe Sheldon nasceu em 1857 e cresceu em Dakota, EUA. Filho de pastor, Charles fora incentivado a ler diariamente a Bíblia, desabrochando nele, desde cedo, uma profunda paixão pela literatura. Aos 12 anos, começou a contribuir para um jornal de Boston. Em seguida, surgiram dezenas de pequenas obras e centenas de artigos para revistas e jornais. A influência de seu pai pôde ser percebida também na vocação pastoral. Formado pelo Andover Theological Seminary, Charles marcou seu pastorado por iniciativas inéditas à época, disseminando clubes de leitores, jardins de infância (experiência trazida da Alemanha), ministérios com trabalhadores e apoio aos pobres.Charles dizia que "pregava o evangelho para as pessoas simples". Quase 100 anos antes do movimento dos direitos civis, Charles Sheldon fazia questão de estar e servir entre a população negra. Aposentou-se do púlpito em 1919, mas continuou trabalhando como editor por diversos anos. Em 24 de fevereiro de 1946, faleceu aos 89 anos, vítima de derrame. Sua obra mais popular "Em seus passos o que faria Jesus?" tornou-se o nono livro mais vendido da história.
