Description
"Who is this Jesus, who wanders onto center stage in this earliest of the Christian Gospels?" Richard Giles responds to this question with a 40-day meditation and commentary of the Gospel of Mark. Brimming with insight and Giles's signature wit, Mark My Word reviews the events and teachings related in the Gospel, and provides a twenty-first-century lens through which to understand it. Each daily reading is followed by reflection questions and a closing prayer, making Mark My Word perfect for individual devotional use and group reading.
Reviews / Votes
An absorbing treatment of St. Mark by a parish priest who is firmly with Jesus on the campaign trail himself. -- Bishop Nigel McCulloch A wonderful winkling out of the questions posed for us by St. Mark's account of Jesus. -- Bishop Colin Buchanan This commentary captures the rough and tumble as well as the glory of God's Kingdom, inviting the reader to a response of mature faith and renewed commitment. A Bible reading buster! -- Bishop Michael MarshallMore details
