Despite what you might think as you walk through the malls and the discount stores, Easter is much more than jelly beans and chocolate bunnies and peeps. Easter is about Jesus! About His death and resurrection. With all the commercialism that surrounds Easter, sometimes we need to take a step back and refocus.
That's where Jesus:Understanding His Death and Resurrection comes in. Written by Kay Arthur and David Arthur, this is a "40-minute, no-homework Bible study." It is designed to be used by small groups over a six-week period, but it is just as effective when used in personal devotions. This study is the third in a 3-part series covering the Gospel of Mark, and this book focuses on the final three chapters of that Gospel.
Like all Kay Arthur Bible studies, this one is inductive, which means the Scripture is your primary text. It also means means observing and marking the text. There are questions to guide group discussion, or to stimulate your thinking if you are using this for personal study.
This is an excellent study for any time of year, and especially in these weeks leading up to the celebration of the resurrection. I highly recommend it.
