Mark's Story: The Jesus Chronicles Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 281 ratings

Mark's Story opens on the evening of the last day of Jesus as man. The young Mark hears Jesus' prophecies of the events that are to come, and bears witness to some of the most pivotal events in human history, including Judas Iscariot's betrayal, Peter's denial of his Master, and Jesus' crucifixion, and resurrection as the risen Lord.

In the years after, following in the footsteps of his friend and mentor Peter, Mark becomes an ardent follower of Jesus and a devoted disciple of Christianity, spreading the Word beyond Jerusalem and into the world. Mark urges Peter to recount to him the stories of Jesus' life on Earth, His messages, His miracles, and His everlasting promises to His people, and compiles what becomes canonized as the Gospel of Mark.

Mark chronicles the growth of the early Christian church, the struggles of Jesus' followers, and the persecution they endured from a hostile world. Mark's Story is a thrilling account that vividly depicts the last day before Jesus' crucifixion and the danger that early believers faced as they boldly proclaimed Jesus as Christ the Lord. Their bravery laid the foundation for the early church, and their fervent passion for the Word reverberates throughout the world today.

I love this book and series. It's fascinating and impossible to put down. I still have to read Luke and Matthew - and I can't wait. The authors have done a great job with this series. I will definitely read all of their books. I love the characters, location and everything about these books. I recommend this book to anyone who want to read their stories - not in substation of the Bible - but as a companion to the Bible.

I have enjoyed all four of these books. LaHaye writes in a story fashion which is easy to read, but he leaves it open for actual research and deeper diving in to characters and places. He gives personification to the people of the Bible so you can further understand their mindset and environmental situations. Basically he paints a wider picture of the Life of Jesus. If you can find them, well worth the purchase.

What a wonderful book!!! It is based so closely to the gospel of Mark and the culture of those days, that it seems like it could be completely true, although I know that no one could quote the exact conversations and details such as are given. It did open my eyes to some of the verses in Mark that I had always skipped over. This is one of my favorite books. The book was used, but in great condition. It arrived within the estimated delivery date and was well packaged.

Wonderful story of one of the Gospel writers. The authors came the characters form and personality. The story I knew, but not with all the added informational tidbits that made it come alive to me. Everyone should read this book and then read Mark in the New Testament. I guarantee you will be more interested in what you are reading.

This entire series is great. Though the story is fiction, we know enough about the Apostles that it is easy to put the in this type of story. You can truly imagine what life in the time period of Christ might have been like. I suggest it is a good read, whether believer or not.

very good Christian novel, obviously nothing trumps reading the Bible though,

As a student and teacher of the Bible, I can truly say that this novel, along with "Luke's Story" and "John's Story" provide an excellent context for the events and relationships surrounding the writing of the these three Gospels. I bought more copies of this book and have given them away to others who study the Bible and ask many questions about how the Gospels came to be written. I can hardly wait for "Matthew's Story".

I love these stories. They give me such inspiration and peace reading them . I helps me to better understand what it must have been like to have been one of his disciples. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about the story of Jesus Christ.
