Set in the early 1900's, In His Steps is a one-man dramatic adaptation of Charles Sheldon's Christian classic that has inspired millions of readers and is one of the best selling books of all time!

Some are familiar; others are characters who "might have been," including a blind man, a soldier, a slave and more. Each brings a fresh insight to enrich our understanding of our own encounters with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
