In 1896, Charles Monroe Sheldon began writing the book for his Sunday night services. The story released one chapter a week and begged the question "What would Jesus do?" in the lives of various characters. His work gained notoriety soon after its release, and its finished form was published by the Advance one chapter per week, just as it had been before its fame. Its ten-cent paperback edition sold 100,000 copies.[2]
