Have you ever arranged to meet someone for the first time, only to miss them because you expected someone who looked quite different? But more serious would be to miss God Himself, just because He didn't look like we expected...

This is exactly what happens in the second half of Mark's Gospel. Jesus is the King. But He comes to serve and suffer, not to fight political battles. He is Israel's Messiah. But He comes to judge those who believe they are already God's people. He is the promised Rescuer, but He can't even seem to save himself. Rejected by religious leaders, deserted by His followers, it seems everyone is missing who He really is.

Could we make the same mistake as the people of Jesus' day? This Good Book Guide will help you to know and understand Jesus, just as Mark knew Him - nothing that people expected, but more than any of us could hope for.

Review by Clive Anning | 16.04.2009

Not used this book yet but if it's as good as the same in the series on the first epistle of Peter then it will be excellent.

Simple yet a profound way of approaching Mark's Gospel
Review by Anonymous | 10.04.2009

This study has given us a good framework and different approach to a familiar Gospel. Each week we found we had been led into useful and personal discussions on our faith, and benefited from it.

Very detailed
Review by Ian Simpson | 03.08.2007

We used this book to lead our cellgroup through Mark this term. It was well received though we felt it had some questions which children could answer and others at which we were quite out of our depth!
