Customer Reviews

Enjoyed Mark's Story

I enjoy these novels by LaHaye and Jenkins. They give you a glimpse into what life may have been like in the time of Jesus. We know so little about Jesus' followers but were such brave men to stand by their faith.

Mark's Story

This is an awsome book. Reading the bible is so hard as it takes forever to understand it. This makes it easy to understand and is written in the form of a novel so it holds your interest. I recommend this book and all of the Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins books. The series End Times is extrememly good reading. Jeanette

Mark: for those Christ Left Behing

This story is largely an adaptation of the gospel of Mark and the book of Acts as well as drawing facts from the epistles where the central characters play a part (Mark, Peter and Paul) It is a fictional adaptation based upon the imagination of the author. We do not know what role, if any John Mark played during the later days of Christ's ministry and what we know of Mark's personal life come from a few references about him in Acts and various epistles. The gospel of Mark has always seemed a little flat to me. It does not have the historical basis of Matthew or the revelation of Diety as does John, but this book help bring the gospel alive. I can see myself in similar roles and empathize. Where some people might criticize the book as relying too heavily on scriptures, I would commend the authors for reigning in their imaginations to stick to the true text of the Gospel and only adding fictional details where necessary.

Mark's Story

This book was delivered in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading it.

Awesome!

This book is on the money. It helps if you are familiar with the Gospel. I found the book to be very accurate with the interpretation of the scriptures. I recommend this book to anyone with knowledge of Jesus' life.

Mark's Story

I love this story. LaHaye and Jenkins have continued their ability to bring fact and fiction together, with the same gripping style that pulls you right in. This book, as well as the Left Behind series and John's Story, are easy to read and easy to grasp. They will all give you a better understanding of how each of the individuals involved impacted those around them and how JESUS and GOD affected their lives. If you enjoyed Left Behind books, you will love this book. It makes a big difference, when hearing GOD's word or reading the Bible, to really understand how those who wrote those events came to prominence in their own time and why their "Books" carried such weight in the Bible and have spread to all corners of the earth. Worth every cent, and more.
