Publisher's Synopsis
Voices from Mark is a collection of 20 first-person narratives - 20 "voices" from the Gospel of Mark. In each case, the events of a specific portion of Mark's Gospel are described firsthand by a character from that passage. The list of speakers includes such well-known persons as King Herod, Mary Magdalene, and the disciples Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, and Judas Iscariot, as well as such minor characters as a Pharisee, a blind beggar, a Galilean farmer, a Jewish scribe, and a Roman centurion. The narratives stay true to the scriptures, while still giving the characters sufficient freedom to embellish their accounts with details of their own choosing. Endnotes are also included to document the scriptural basis of each narrative. The Gospel of Mark is a vivid, fast-paced, and moving account of Jesus' ministry, emphasizing the fact that Jesus is the Son of God, sent to rescue humanity. Voices from Mark offers the reader a unique way to experience these chapters-to glorify God and edify His people.
