Download or read book Mark written by Steve Wilmshurst and published by Welwyn Commentary. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Steve Wilmshurst is currently Director of Training at Kensington Baptist Church in Bristol and teaches on the New Testament in a variety of other places. He is the author of The Final Word - The book of Revelation simply explained, also published by EP in the Welwyn Commentary Series. Based on sermons preached at Kensington Baptist Church, Bristol, the author has increasingly, and beyond his expectations, been drawn in by the sheer power of Mark's story-telling. The author comments that, 'Mark's gospel focuses on the Lord Jesus as the crucified Christ; as his followers we are called to take up our cross and follow him who gave his life as a ransom for many. If this book encourages you in this path of discipleship, it will have achieved its purpose'. Grasping something of the skilled and beautiful construction of the gospel has frequently shed fresh light on familiar passages; recognising the half-concealed links to the Old Testament prophets has opened up new understanding of the mission of the Lord Jesus.

Can the ransomware gang that paralysed the group's IT systems be tracked down and brought to justice? And was the hit and run that killed his son Gordon, who was the group's IT security director, really an accident? Nick agrees to find answers to those questions.

Book excerpt: A repackaged edition of the revered author’s definitive collection of short fiction, which explores enduring spiritual and science fiction themes such as space, time, reality, fantasy, God, and the fate of humankind.

Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—comes a collection of his dazzling short fiction. This collection of futuristic fiction includes a breathtaking science fiction story written early in his career in which Cambridge intellectuals witness the breach of space-time through a chronoscope—a telescope that looks not just into another world, but into another time.

It is ideal reading for fans of J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis’s longtime friend and colleague.
