Publisher's Synopsis
How much of our lives are ruled by fear, by our need to please people, fear of our own inadequacy, fear of taking risks, and fear of being shamed or rejected? This study of the Gospel of Mark will first examine John Mark's life, including his failure to complete his missionary journey with Paul and Barnabas. The resulting conflict between Paul and Barnabas led them to part company. Paul later affirmed John Mark when he said, e is helpful to me in my ministry. As we study, we will use the lens of this failure, and later reconciliation and affirmation, to examine the lessons found in the Gospel of Mark.
