Although all of the New Testament Gospels present compelling stories of the life, words, and works of Jesus, the book of Mark stands apart with a unique perspective. Written specifically for the Gentiles during a climate of persecution and suffering in Rome, the gospel of Mark reveals an intimate yet commanding side of Jesus. In this interactive, seven-lesson study, you'll travel on a virtual journey to Rome and Israel with host Michael Card for a closer look into the struggles, suffering, and pain endured by those who followed Jesus. Bringing clarity not only to the joy of following Christ, but also to the reality of fear, uncertainty, and danger, this engaging exploration of Mark's gospel shows how you can face trials in life with the confidence that you'll find hope, healing, and encouragement through Jesus Christ.
