In these prayers, readers will find echoes of thanks and hope that will speak to their own joys and challenges; worship leaders will find help and inspiration as they prepare for worship. A study guide is included to prompt discussion and deepen exploration of Mark’s gospel, section by section, chapter by chapter.
