A Costly Freedom: A Theological Reading of Mark's Gospel

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0814618561, Paperback)

To read the Gospel of Mark is to embark on a journey--one in which Jesus teaches his disciples and calls them to learn what it means to follow him. In The Spiritual Landscape of Mark, Bonnie Thurston invites all of us to embark on this spiritual journey--to go away to a quiet place and reflect awhile on what it means to be Jesus' disciple, to follow him across the hard landscape. Along the way there will be glimpses of glory. Still, the primary lesson is the difficult way to which we are called, along with the great joy of knowing that Jesus has initiated the journey and leads us exactly where we need to go.
