There Are Demons In The Sea

Christ came to set God's people free from disobedience, disease, and death -- and each of the miracle events was not a ""faith-healing"" but rather a battle won, in which Jesus provided a cure from something for something. That's the compelling theme of this fascinating study of ten miracle stories from the Gospel of Mark featured in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Whether you're a busy pastor, church school teacher, discussion leader, or just an interested Bible student, There Are Demons In The Sea offers valuable and superbly organized background information -- Hoefler's scholarship, perceptive insight, and potent illustrative material make this volume an invaluable aid to preaching preparation or scriptural study.

Chapter titles include:
* The Gordian Knot - Mark 1:21-28
* The Miracle Of Forgiveness - Mark 2:1-12
* There Are Demons In The Sea - Mark 4:35-41
* The Good Grocer - Mark 6:30-44

... and more!
