Mark 1-8: The Coming King
Description
Jesus has always been endlessly fascinating to people, yet few know accurately the eye-witness record of Jesus found in the gospels. These ten Bible-studies in Mark’s gospel provide a great opportunity to find out the truth about Jesus, taking you on a journey of discovery through the first eight chapters, as the disciples learn who Jesus really is. Find out for yourself just how much Mark has packed into his brief account of Jesus!
You’ll learn, beyond doubt, that Jesus is King, but also find answers to many questions: Why does this promised king come in such a secret way? Why is He powerful, yet opposed? Why does He stop people talking about Him? Why do some recognize Him, but not others?
Most of all however, with two very practical sections for personal application in every session, this course aims to help each of us live with Jesus as our king.
Other information
The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.Table of contents

Customer Reviews
Great for personal or group study
This is a helpful resource whether you're delving into the gospel of Mark for the first or know it well. Whether for personal study or small groups, the questions provide a useful framework which can be built upon. The leaders notes are good and provide further study suggestions. ![]()
Good study guide for a confident group
A good study guide to Mark's gospel that encourages the group to look into the Old Testament. Some of the questions, though, need rephrasing as they can really only be answered using the additional questions in the "leader's study guide" at the back. As there is so much input from the OT, lots of flicking back and forth is needed during the discussion which is difficult for people who are not used to finding their way around the Bible. ![]()
