Printable family devotions that inspire spiritual conversations.
In this biography of Jesus, Mark focuses on Jesus as the suffering servant—the one who lays down His life to save His people. He also shows us how Jesus is the true King over everything! Mark’s style of storytelling is fast-paced, simple, and straightforward. You’ll often hear him use the word “immediately” as he moves us from one scene to the next.
Each journal page corresponds with one chapter and includes two kid-friendly prompts such as History Tidbits and Fun Facts for conversation starters. The dedicated space Favorite Words, This Story Inspired Me, and more gives families a place to process thoughts and feelings by writing or drawing while encouraging independent reading for teens.
The Book Summary offers the setting and theme to paint the overall picture of Mark. Also included is Big Questions Simple Answers, where parents and kids alike learn where Mark fits into God's love story, the history of Isreal and the early church, why there are four gospels, and more!

I see there are two purchase options. Which one should I choose?
The group license permits churches to duplicate, and the individual license is for families.
I see there is a suggested Reading Plan. Is it dated?
No. We choose an undated reading plan because every family's schedule is different. They can choose to work through Mark as it best fits their schedule. Is it dinner each night? Weekends?
Is Mark for children or teenagers?
Both! This material is for all ages.
For teens, the journal prompts encourage independent reading. For children, parents can use the prompts as conversation starters.
