In His Steps
54Watch it awake.
It's a sermon dressed as a town, and I wouldn't trust the sales number.
The review
Charles Sheldon, 1896: a town tries to ask, before each choice, what Jesus would do. The piety is the product. A house can read it, and it reads fast because it is an argument in a story, not a report of a real town. I knew that going in and I still felt the push of the question, which is what he wanted.
People claim enormous sales. I won't print one number as if it had been audited. A parent can hand this to an older child who already asks what a choice costs, and then say plainly that the town is a device. The week after, the question is either useful or it is a slogan. The book cannot settle that for you.

The glance
Household and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Heidi
64 instead of 54
Heidi is still a novel film, and it scores 64 instead of 54. What you gain is household: A girl left with her grandfather thaws him, and that bond is the life.
