Mark's gospel is one of the most important books ever written. His telling of the story of Jesus has changed countless lives over the last 2000 years and has had enormous influence on our world.In Leith Fisher's book, Mark brings Jesus before his readers, asking Jesus' simple, direct question: 'Who do you think I am?' He invites the reader to answer the question by following Jesus' own journey from the start of his ministry to the events of Easter, and then to follow Jesus' way in their own lives.Frequently we assume we 'know' Jesus. Often our picture of him is built on impressions and stories formed early in our lives. This book invites and challenges us to take a close, fresh and adult look at the first gospel account of 'Who He is.'

The Gospel of Luke is one of the treasures of the Christian church. Artful and engaging in his narrative style, Luke has the wonderful capacity to surprise his readers, to tell stories with a devastating twist in the tale, or to show a sudden new vista on reality. Luke's gospel has also exerted a massive influence on the way we see our world. Phrases and images from Luke have been part and parcel of our culture for centuries, and some of Luke's basic themes have shaped both faith and culture enormously.Leith Fisher shows us an accessible way to engage with this gospel and opens up Luke's vivid picture-gallery of stories to all readers: read on to learn more of the road which beckons in this most universal of the gospels. Suitable for personal or for group reading, this book divides the gospel account into manageable parts so that it can be read altogether, or over a period of study. It could form the basis for a year's preaching through Luke or for a series of group studies; its forty sections also make it suitable for the days of Lent.
