In Advent the Church begins to read from Mark’s gospel at Sunday Eucharist, the Cycle B readings. Plan early. Form bible study groups in your parish or congregation. These two books are all you need to reflect on Mark’s gospel together.
Mark’s Gospel: the Whole Story is a short (88 pages) and very readable introduction to Mark. Each of the 11 chapters covers a portion of his Gospel. The questions after each chapter stimulate sharing about the portrait of Jesus Mark draws for his community and for us today. Ideal for faith-sharing groups and homilists.
Mark devotes 60 of the 660 verses in his Gospel to stories about women. Holy Women, Full of Grace tells their stories and creates a litany of prayers to them. For both individuals and small groups. Book groups have found Holy Women a prayerful break from their usual choices.
