A walk is better with a friend. Reading the Bible can be the same way. In An Easy Stroll Through a Short Gospel, Larry Parsley guides us through the shortest official take on the biggest life ever lived — the story of Jesus played out in the Gospel of Mark. The journey is relatively quick, but the vistas you'll see along the way can linger for a lifetime. "A gentle journey... Larry's wisdom and eye for beauty might readily serve as inspiration for daily spiritual exercises." ― Dr. Paul Scott Wilson, Professor of Homiletics at Emmanuel College, Toronto, and author of The Four Pages of the Sermon "Wonderfully refreshing...compelling [and] down-to-earth... It truly is 'an easy stroll' and a disarmingly profound one simultaneously. All I know is that I will never teach from Mark's Gospel again without first consulting this book." -- Andy McQuitty, author of Notes from the Valley: A Spiritual Travelogue Through Cancer and The Way to Brave: Shaping a David Faith for a Goliath World "The best thing about taking this stroll is seeing Jesus' story through Larry's eyes. Don't you just love it when a guide shows you not only the landmarks, but also the fascinating, intricate, and almost-hidden details of the terrain you're traveling? ... Enjoy the journey." -- Marv Knox, Fellowship Southwest coordinator and the former editor of the Baptist Standard "...invaluable and enlightening. With his diligent immersion and attention to detail, Larry has showed and explained to me parts of the Word I had not considered." - Bob Sturm, cohost of Sports Radio 1310 - The Ticket in Dallas and author of This Year Is Different
