It is Jesus’ last day alive as a man, and a young boy–Mark–is about to witness firsthand some of the most pivotal events in all of human history: 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 Gospel outside the boundaries of Jerusalem and into the world. Along the way, he exhorts Peter to recount the stories of Jesus’ time on earth–His messages, His miracles, and His everlasting promises to His people–and compiles what becomes canonized as the Gospel of Mark.
MARK’S STORY is a thrilling account that vividly depicts the day before Jesus’ crucifixion and the danger that early believers faced as they boldly proclaimed Him Christ the Lord. Mark chronicles the growth of the early Church, the struggles of Jesus’ followers, and the persecution its members endured from a hostile world. Their bravery laid the foundation for the Christian Church, and their fervent passion for the Word still reverberates throughout the world today.

Robertson Dean provides this creative account of the Gospel of Mark with a dynamic vocal range. He gives full attention to fictionalized details, such as Mark's leadership of the church in Alexandria and his healing of an injured man. Even though the story doesn't adhere to the biblical accounts, Dean provides a seamless narration. With poignancy he captures the eager spirit of the young apostle who offers to document Jesus's and the disciples' travels if he can only go with them. Dean's understated portrayal of his disappointment when he's told he must wait until he's older sounds genuine. Dean's delivery of this fictionalized biblical narrative gives an authentic sense of the culture of that time. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
