The Gospel of Mark - Eternity and Readiness

In Mark's gospel, a little over sixteen chapters, God messages Its plan regarding eternity via Jesus. It is Mark's description of Jesus's sermon on the topic of His experience of eternity. As the first gospel writer, Mark initiates the discussion of daily life (physical existence) and spirituality (holiness) and their relationship as dramatized by Jesus. His vocation of readiness meets God's flowing plan daily and proposes the same readiness for us. George Andrew's journal undertakes to understand this intersection of eternity and readiness. He proposes the lifeblood of faith as the sole root of readiness. He also suggests numerous points of view in his eight-year encounter with long-used fundamental words and concepts. Engaging Mark for over eight years, the author transports the reader through the gospel and to the Mystery of Life called God. The source of the book is the existential experience faced by most men and women. Simply, we experience the world from dawn until dusk daily as primarily uncaring. This is true whether you're rich or poor, any color, age, creed, or gender, living or near death, whatever your ancestry. If you can fully grasp this, you have some choices. First, you can succumb to the terror of life and turn into an opportunist, as a vegetable, a person with no moral compass. Or second, you may use the tools that life readily offers-reason, senses, yes, even religion-and think matters through to their ends, go the next step, and unearth what is meet and right to do in order to live life as a human being. This is the beginning of faith, and what Jesus pointed to as the vineyard. This book calls us to a muscular Christianity-one that is strong and of today, and enables us to address the spiritual exhaustion, shallowness, and the questioning torpidity of our time.
