Synopsis

Seventeen years after the First Church of Raymond adopted the motto, "What Would Jesus Do?" another astounding event rocks their world... the appearance of Jesus Christ Himself in Raymond! Is this mysterious stranger truly who he claims to be, or has a charlatan come to prey on the faithful?Jesus is Here! continues Charles Sheldon's classic story In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do? and tells an intriguing "what if" story. Featuring beloved characters familiar and new, this tale brings a new angle for believers to examine how Jesus would interact with the world in the present day, and what that says for how Christians should, in turn, respond.

If you've ever seen anyone wearing a WWJD? (standing for "What would Jesus do?") bracelet, this is the novella that first popularized that question in some Christian circles.
