With this twelve-week accessible study for young adults, Mark: How Jesus Changes Everything, John Perritt points readers toward a better love and appreciation for their compassionate savior and suffering servant.

Created for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large settings, this guide is theologically rich in a time when biblical illiteracy is growing among Christians. Rather than a message of moralism, Markintroduces students to Jesus: the lover of the least and the hero of heroes.

Perritt outlines many helpful questions paired with Scripture readings for personal reflection or group discussion. Through in-depth examination of the book of Mark, article readings, and applicable exercises, students experience the compassion and authority of Christ.

He helps young adults ask difficult questions: Why was Jesus angry in the book of Mark? How does Peter s denial of Jesus still fit into God s perfect plan? What does it mean that even Jesus begs his Father to allow suffering to be removed from him?

By helping students walk away with a better understanding of the themes in the gospel of Mark, Perritt offers them a better understanding of the man, Jesus Christ, who is the gospel the one who changes everything.

My thoughts: MARK: HOW JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING by John Perritt is a great Bible study for small groups. You read a chapter or two of Mark each week before the gathering,  then discuss it. The book includes:

- Big Idea - a summary of the main point of the lesson
- Bible Conversation - questions to discuss
- Article - the teaching section of the lesson
- Discussion - questions to help students apply the teaching to their own lives
- Exercise - a section students complete individually 
- Wrap-up and Prayer - encourages student to pray since transformation happens only through God's Word in them

The book  has leader's guides so if you are the leader  you know how to direct the group.

Great for small groups, Bible study groups, a Sunday  school class and more.  This is NOT a comprehensive study on Mark, but rather more focused on the Christian's spiritual amnesia and how we so quickly forget that we are loved by God and accepted  in the  beloved.
