What would it mean for me to live in a new way—with a new outlook, with completely new methods?  What would this mean for my relationships?  What would this mean for the ways in which I conduct myself?  What manners would I change?  What kinds of things would I stop saying?  What kinds of things would I begin to say? Mark’s Gospel brings us right into the mystery of what it means to live as a member of God’s family.  He raises the most important questions for us to ponder:  What would it mean to be willing to lose my life and to take up my cross?  How might I go about implementing this vision? The Gospel of Mark, the second book in A Whole New World series, leads us into the heart of a whole new world of insight and transformation—right where we are.  John Blackwell’s essays in will help you find your way into that astounding new world.
