| The
style of Mark’s writing in this shortest of the gospels is
matched, in measure, by that of Dr. Uprichard in this brief
survey of Christ's life and ministry as presented by Mark.
So much detail, of deeds and words, is provided in such
short compass by the writer of the divinely inspired text,
that the effect upon the reader is breathtaking. Thereby we
gain some idea of the absolute devotion, and urgency of
response, that characterized the Perfect Servant in His
action-packed life on earth. Under eight chapter headings, each
a reference to the Person of Christ, the author reviews in
lively, pithy style the impact He made, so justifying the
book’s sub-title, ‘Discovering Christ in THE GOSPEL OF MARK’. (in
the series, Living Classics for Today). 160pp. £6.95/U.S.

0-85234-438-4 This recent publication will be welcomed by
all who take inspiration from the honestly recorded soul-searchings
of great saints of God. Bunyan tells of his transformation
from a foul-mouthed sinner weighed down with a sense of
guilt before God, and fearful of eternal punishment to
eager participant in God’s service. At his conversion
and, thereafter, seeking to live for God in a hostile
world, he found that Christ could meet his every need. The
text of this edition has been modernised and this I found to be
helpful, not affecting adversely the clarity and directness
of Bunyan’s statements. |
