As readers acquaint themselves with the life of Jesus Christ as reported by Mark, their perspective will be radically and refreshingly altered. Jesus, the greatest, became the least, serving every man and woman so He could bring them back to God.

Participants will find themselves changed as they see how the greatest Servant now lives His life in us and through us.
