H. Mathews reflects on the most significant passages in Mark's gospel. Whether used as a month-long daily devotional or as a guide to reading Mark's gospel, this book will be a trusted companion for those who seek to follow Jesus, or to understand his life and message more clearly.

“One thing all revivals have in common is the Holy Spirit leading people back to the Word of God. For this reason, I'm always excited about any resource that puts people deeply in touch with Scripture. Mathews does a wonderful job of introducing readers to the gospel of Mark. The writing is practical, inspirational, and is laid out in a very unique format. I enthusiastically recommend it.”
“A good book should do two things in the life of a believer: first, it should make you want to read the Bible more, and second, it should inspire you to know more about the life of Jesus. Both of these things are accomplished in [this] book . . . I assure you as you read this book based on the book of Mark, you will find yourself developing a deeper love for Jesus Christ.”
“A simple yet authentic work that I feel confident using in our campus ministry helping student-athletes grow deeper in the Word as they walk with the Savior.”
“Mathews explores the book of Mark through devotional reflections, but it offers so much more. There is the reflective questioning, but that comes after a retelling of the story and theological and interpretive review. I found this to be a meaningful learning and devotional experience. The material has a richer depth than most devotional books, but does not attempt to overcome the reflection process with scholarship.”
