New Testaments; Christian leaders & leadership

Anyone who has been through Sunday school can tell you that Jesus walked on water, fed the 5,000 and told a parable about a sower. Is there really much more to it than that? Aren't the Gospels supposed to be the ""easy"" bits of the Bible?

Using Mark as a worked example, Andrew and Tim follow the most important things that have ever happened in the history of the world. They help us see a diagnosis of the human condition more perceptive than that offered by any physician, politician, philosopher or psychiatrist. They point to a solution that touches in the same moment both the horrors of hell and the glory of heaven. We come face to face with the Jesus of the Bible and see how to follow him in a way that utterly transforms our lives.

The Dig Deeper books are a cross between a sermon (but showing a bit more of the preacher's work behind the scenes), a commentary (but often more humorous than that) and an interactive workbook (there are a few 'over to you' moments). Each book uses the same set of 'tools' - context, structure, repetition, Bible timeline and so on - that will train you in how to read the Bible better for yourself. The Dig Deeper books invite you to read the Bible well with a range of tools. Find out more here: https://digdeeper.tools

Reviews for Dig Deeper into Mark

""This book is a gold mine, not just because of the many rich ideas it contains, but especially because it enables us to discover the treasures of the Gospels. It is a fantastic addition to the Dig Deeper series, and is hugely valuable as a model of how to study a Bible book so as to embrace its message and be transformed by its power. The Toolkit is brilliant, the writing is clear and accessible, the interactive question are penetrating, and the resulting engagement with the Gospel - with Jesus himself - is compelling and life-changing. Whether for personal use, home groups or preparing to preach, I urgently encourage you to dig into this wonderful guide to Mark's Gospel.""--Jonathan Lamb, CEO and minister-at-large for Keswick Ministries, formerly Director of Langham Publis ""What a splendid book! I praise God for this great resource. This book provides useful tools for people reading Mark's Gospel and so also the other Gospels. If people are going to read the Bible, they need to be trained to understand it deeply. This book will also be a great resource for Bible study leaders and preachers. I am only sorry I had not read this book before preaching a recent series on Mark!""--Peter Adam, Vicar Emeritus of St Jude's Carlton, Melbourne, Australia
