The Gospel of Mark: A 16-Week Study Workbook

Finally read the Gospel of Mark with confidence, one chapter a week, with a trusted guide printed beside you on every page.

Mark is the shortest Gospel and the fastest, and its driving question is simple: who is this? If you have ever felt unsure how to study a whole Gospel on your own, this sixteen-week workbook gives you a clear path from the first verse to the empty tomb.

Each week pairs one chapter of Mark with a full passage from J.C. Ryle, the nineteenth-century pastor who wrote about Mark for ordinary working people. Every Ryle passage is printed inside, so the study is complete in itself.

Every week follows the same clear rhythm, so you always know where you are and what comes next:

• In Ryle’s Own Words: a full printed passage of Ryle’s classic exposition of that chapter
• The Three Movements: a Doctrine to grasp, a Warning to heed, and a Comfort to keep
• For Families: a fifteen-minute dinner-table version, with an option for younger children

You will also find observation questions, discussion prompts for groups, one concrete step to live out each week, and a closing prayer. Choose the pace that fits your life: sixteen weeks, eight, or six.

By the end, you will be able to:

• Follow Mark’s central question, “who is this?”, from start to finish
• Explain in plain words why the cross is the center of the story and what “ransom for many” means
• Pray honestly when faith feels mixed with doubt
• Trust that slow, hidden growth is still real growth
