Welcome to the companion study guide for RightNow Media’s The Gospel of Mark, featuring Francis Chan. This 11-week Bible study, filmed on location in Israel, is meant to be more than an intellectual analysis of Mark’s gospel. It’s a journey intended to lead you along in the footsteps of Jesus as he walks the road from Galilee to Jerusalem.

This guide will require more of you than simply reading the Bible and answering a few questions. It’ll ask you to engage your heart and your hands as well—feeling the full impact of Mark’s writing as well as putting into action the challenges his gospel makes to his reader. At the end of the journey—and at the end of this book—you’ll have a very important question to answer: Will you follow Jesus?
