Straight to the Heart of Mark Summary

Straight to the Heart of Mark: 60 bite-sized insights by Phil Moore

The ancient writers tell us that Mark wrote down the words of Peter as he described what it was like to follow Jesus around Galilee and Judea. That's why Mark's gospel is so fast-paced and action-packed. He wants us to experience the same highs and lows as Peter in his journey of discovery. Through Mark's gospel, we are able to discover Jesus for ourselves. Mark invites us to step into the story.

God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

Straight to the Heart of Mark Reviews

Fresh. Solid. Simple. Really good stuff. -- R. T. Kendall
I enjoy reading Phil Moore's books. He writes about Jesus and the Christian life with perception, wisdom and wit. -- Nicky Gumbel
Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you! -- Canon Michael Green
In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently. We so need to get into the Scriptures and let the Scriptures get into us. The fact that Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to Biblical revelation means that we are genuinely helped to be shaped by the Bible's teaching. -- Terry Virgo
These notes are amazingly good. Lots of content and depth of research, yet packed in a Big Breakfast that leaves the reader well fed and full. Bible notes often say too little, yet larger commentaries can be dull - missing the wood for the trees. Phil's insights are striking, original, and fresh, going straight to the heart of the text and the reader! Substantial yet succinct, they bristle with amazing insights and life applications, compelling us to read more. Bible reading will become enriched and informed with such a scintillating guide. Teachers and preachers will find nuggets of pure gold here! -- Greg Haslam - Westminster Chapel, London, UK
