Mark's gospel is
one of the most important books ever written. His telling of the story of
Jesus has changed countless lives over the last 2000 years and has had
enormous influence on our world.
In Leith's book, Mark brings Jesus before his readers, asking Jesus'
simple, direct question: 'Who do you think I am?' He invites the reader to
answer the question by following Jesus' own journey from the start of his
ministry to the events of Easter, and then to follow Jesus' way in their own
lives.
Frequently we assume we 'know' Jesus. Often our picture of him is built on
impressions and stories formed early in our lives. This book invites and
challenges us to take a close, fresh and adult look at the first gospel
account of 'Who He is.' |
