Insights on Mark

by Charles R. Swindoll

Mark’s Gospel is fast-paced and action-packed. In this volume, Chuck unpacks both Jesus’ story and how Mark wants his readers to see themselves in this story. “From beginning to end, we will see the Master preparing His disciples and then propelling them forward to encounter challenges they felt ill-prepared to meet.”The 15-volume Swindoll’s Living Insights New Testament Commentary series draws on Gold Medallion Award–winner Chuck Swindoll’s 50 years of experience with studying and preaching God’s Word. His deep insight, signature easygoing style, and humor bring a warmth and practical accessibility not often found in commentaries.Each volume combines verse-by-verse commentary, charts, maps, photos, key terms, and background articles with practical application. The newly updated volumes now include parallel presentations of the NLT and NASB before each section. This series is a must-have for pastors, teachers, and anyone else who is seeking a deeply practical resource for exploring God’s Word.

As always Swindoll does an excellent job of taking you through the gospel and in clear concise language brings understanding to the text.

One of the strengths of these commentaries is the background for each text.

Mark is a fast, fascinating gospel and Charles Swindoll does an exceptional job explaining the context, the history, the geography as well as giving great insights on each chapter.

A book like this makes a great companion piece to any Bible study of Mark.

Absolutely love Swindoll's commentaries. I learn a lot that I was not aware of and he makes me really think about the scripture.
