Synopsis

The bestselling series from the authors of the phenomenal multimillion-selling Left Behind books.

Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins give us the second book in their bestselling Jesus Chronicles—biblically inspired novels that bring to life the story of Jesus as never told before.

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 him Christ the Lord. Readers will discover firsthand the growth of the early Church, the struggles of Jesus' followers, the persecution they endured—and their bravery and passion, which laid the foundation for the Christian Church and still reverberates throughout the world today.
