Have you ever wanted to read a firsthand account of the life of Jesus? Fifty Days with Jesus: Journaling through the Gospel of Mark gives you an opportunity to immerse yourself in the ministry of Jesus, as you devote yourself to daily readings, reflection, and prayer over the next seven weeks.In this journal, you will read through the Gospel of Mark, followed by readings from John, Luke, and Acts. This will give you a full picture of Jesus' ministry from his baptism by John the Baptist to his resurrection appearances to his disciples.The Gospel of Mark is the earliest recorded history of the life of Jesus. As the first Gospel, both Matthew and Luke were based on this early account of the ministry of Jesus.Most scholars identify the writer as being John Mark, a close companion of the Apostle Peter. As a fellow traveler with Peter, he had firsthand access to the stories of Jesus. His account is so trustworthy, almost 90% of Matthew has a direct link to Mark. Mark was probably written around 64 AD, a little over 30 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus. As you journal through Mark, you will be invited to identify three words or phrases that speak to you from the scripture of the day. By interacting with the stories of Jesus, you will have a more in-depth experience. Also, you will be invited to write down your prayers for the day. Fifty Days with Jesus can be used for a church-wide experience. The readings start on a Sunday and finish on a Sunday, making it perfect for an eight-week Sunday study, sermon series, or for the Lenten Season.

The Change Your Ministry Leader's Assessment is designed to allow pastors, staff, and congregational leaders to identify their passion for leading their faith communities.
