The Servant Who Rules

by Ray C. Stedman

Those who witnessed the miracles of Jesus and heard His parables asked themselves, ""Who is this?"" In this highly-readable two-volume set, author Ray Stedman introduces us to the Servant-leader, who para- doxically hid God's truth only to make it more visible. The author's compelling stories and insights guide the reader to a deeper under- standing of Mark's action-packed book, which is, in Stedman's words, ""an excellent introduction to the gospel story for people of all back- grounds, tribes, and classes. Of the four gospels, Mark is truly the ""multicultural"" gospel. . .the most easily understood by a universal audience. As readers acquire a deeper grasp of the truths presented by Mark's gospel, the will be on their way toward a deeper walk with the Savior Mark described.

[Doug Sullivan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The magic of Stedman!s teaching is the balance of detail and overview. He knows just when to stop, analyze and not be afraid of lingering over a passage. He also masterfully summarizes and highlights themes in what might otherwise seem to be random events or stories of Christ's ministry.

On to the second half of Mark!
