About this Item

Paperback. Mark doesn't waste words in his Gospel. His Jesus, the Jesus, is a man on a mission, determined, racing. Mark doesnt waste words, but his words pack a punch and his brief descriptions beg for deep reflection. Like a passenger in a car driving quickly, we can easily miss the details of the landscape if we dont pay careful attention. Mark sets us on a race, but its important to stop along the way. A Path Strewn with Sinners sets us on Jesus race to the cross, but it also insists we take time to ponder, to notice what Mark notes, and what he doesnt. A master storyteller, Mark leaves room for us to ask questions of the text while at the same time giving us enough information to make that profitable. In so doing, He introduces us to Jesus in a most useful and unique way and makes our race well worth the effort, as A Path Strewn with Sinners shows. Mark introduces Jesus like no one else, racing to the cross, down a path strewn with sinners, for you and for me, and even for those who mock and kill him. Join Mark's race and get to know Jesus like you've perhaps never know Him before, through the eyes of those who received His mercy, comfort, and grace.

A master storyteller, Mark leaves room for us to ask questions of the text while at the same time giving us enough information to make that profitable. In so doing, He introduces us to Jesus in a most useful and unique way and makes our race well worth the effort, as A Path Strewn with Sinners shows.
