Great resource - informative and spiritually fulfilling

Fr McBrien's book, "To Love and to be Loved by Jesus" is a remarkable and valuable resource for reading, understanding and putting into practice the messages for Christian living found in the Gospel of St Mark. The book's outline follows that of the gospel, and each chapter in "To Love and to be Loved by Jesus" are like written homilies that expound on the messages contained in each chapter. Moreover, McBrien includes archaeological, historical, cultural and historical commentary when and where in reference to certain chapters to help the meaning of the evangelist's message fully come to life for the reader. Finally, at the end of chapter the author provides a list of reflection questions designed to help the reader further discern the good news and a prayer to help the spirit to contemplate and grow. An easy read, Fr McBrien's book will make your understanding and appreciation of the Gospel of St Mark increase. An indispensible tool for the Year B cycle gospel readings.
