I read this book 25 years ago, but was not impressed. However, my brother-in-law, who is a born-again Christian, is currently reading it and is fascinated by this book. Perhaps I should give it another shot.
I would say it is not the "best" written book I have read... but if you consider when it was written and and the historical context it is a good read. And you can't deny the impact it has had on countless people over the years. It is that impact which inspired me to adapt it to the stage.
When I was in high school, we had to read THE HOUSE OF THE 7 GABLES. It bored me stiff. Twenty years later I reread it and was able to see the author's genius. My point is that there are lots of books that deserve a second chance.
BTW, IN HIS STEPS is the 19th biggest selling novel in history.
This is an excellent presentation. Well done.
