This is the new NIV version of The Gospel of Mark is a 180 page graphic novel from the series: The Word for Word Bible Comic. This edition included the Bible verses at the bottom of each page for reference.
The comic presents every word of the New Testament scripture, within its historical, cultural and geographical context. It employs a high view of scripture and is aimed at adults and readers aged 12+.
The Story Intro: After a brief time of liberty under the Hasmoneans, the people of Israel are once again under the boot of a foreign superpower. The Romans rule and tax every part of their world: water-tax, city-tax, road-tax, house-tax, even a tax on necessities like meat and salt. These fees were often 'harvested' by their own Jewish brothers, who would pay the oppressors and then skim off a little or a lot for themselves.
For centuries, the Israelites have clung to the promise of a Messiah, one who would change everything. But this saviour is not what they’d thought he would be.
Prayer
Spanish editions: Two of the opportunities with Spanish distribution have closed now so we are pursuing new avenues. Please continue to pray we can get the Spanish books into expert hands to get them out to the vast Spanish audience.
Progress: As always, please pray I can continue to make good progress on the Book of Acts.
