Mark My Word: Forty Days with Jesus through the Eyes of St. Mark
“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.
An absorbing treatment of St. Mark by a parish priest who is firmly with Jesus on the campaign trail himself.
A wonderful winkling out of the questions posed for us by St. Mark’s account of Jesus.
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!
