"He who has ears to hear, let him hear." Michael Card gives new meaning to these familiar words of Jesus in a new collection of songs inspired by the Gospel of Mark. Rendering the urgency of Mark's account into music, Card confronts us with the passionate appeal of God to humanity through the voice of Jesus.Flowing with the rich, melodic sound and thoughtful lyrics you've come to expect from Card, this album also features the vocals of Out of the Grey's Christine Dente, including her unforgettable solo track, "It's All Over Now." Produced by Scott Dente and including orchestral accompaniment, "Mark: The Beginning of the Gospel" offers a vibrant, full musical experience of Mark's Gospel that will resonate with the heart.

"These volumes help us discover the biblical text for ourselves, ask our own questions and discover deeper truths. Taking seriously the individual life of each gospel writer, the Biblical Imagination Series reintegrates our minds with our hearts to recapture our imagination with the beauty and power of Christ. . . . Heartily recommended!"



"The depth and format definitely work well as a devotional resource. In fact, it is hard to imagine a better use for it than personal or small group devotions. . . . Card writes a very engaging and accessible purview into Mark and his book."



"Mark is not a book to be read quickly, but to savor slowly. You'll find new insight from Card's richly textured work, allowing the Biblical material to penetrate your heart more deeply."
