The Message of Mark: The Mystery of Faith (Bible Speaks Today)

Publisher's Description

Who was Jesus? What does it mean that he was the Son of God? Where do we fit into God’s redemptive plan? To answer these questions for his first&ndsah;century audience, Mark composed a narrative miniseries. And today the colors are as bright and the story as gripping as on its first fun in Rome.

Short, fast–paced and to the point, it’s as if it were composed for a modern audience. And it is still good news today—Jesus, Son of God, the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.

Donald English has written a viewer’s guide to this exciting series. Whether he is showing us a scene from the director’s chair, from the actor’s stance or from the audience’s perspective, he writes as one who loves and understand the story—and has a passion to help us appreciate and become involved in it.
