In Charles M. Sheldon's 'The Crucifixion of Philip Strong', a minister faces the challenge of living out his faith in a mill town plagued by poverty and wealth disparity. Against all odds, Philip Strong takes a stand for what he believes is right and urges the wealthy members of his church to use their resources to help the poor. However, his efforts are met with opposition, and he is faced with the question of whether he will be able to make a difference in the lives of those around him. This thought-provoking story challenges readers to consider what it truly means to follow Christ and live out one's faith in a world full of injustice.
