Dig Deeper into the Gospels by Andrew Sach brings you face to face with Jesus in the gospel of Mark.
Sometimes we think of the Gospels as the ‘easy’ bits of the Bible. Anyone who has been through Sunday school can tell you that Jesus walked on water, fed the 5, 000 and told a parable about a sower. Is there really much more it than that?
The conviction of the Dig Deeper books is that God wants us to work hard at reading the Bible in order to discover its true meaning, hence the use of ‘tools’ to dig and dig again. It’s an interactive process. Indeed, the authors want to make finding Bible treasure a possibility for everyone. And we do this with receptive hearts, listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying.
‘What a splendid book! A great resource for Bible study leaders and preachers.’ – Peter Adam
‘This book is a gold mine, not just because of the many rich ideas it contains, but especially because it enables us to discover the treasures of the Gospels… The resulting engagement with the gospel – with Jesus himself – is compelling and life-changing.’ – Jonathan Lamb
