Book Description

September 15, 2002
The second in a series of three Cartoon Gospel books, The Cartoon Gospel of Mark follows the Common Lectionary Readings for Church Year B, which is based primarily on the Gospel of Mark - hence the name.

The cartoon style is based on the idea of a parable. A parable is a short and entertaining story with a message. The idea behind a parable is that the listener would enjoy it enough to remember it and retell it to others, perhaps none more well known than those told by Jesus.

A cartoon is somewhat like a visual form of parable. Humor, in general, goes a long way toward illustrating a point, often more effectively than serious discourse. As for memory, most of us have been reading the Gospels since we were children, and it's the parables that we remember best.

After reading this book, cartoons especially, you will find the scripture passages much easier to remember. And, remembering them is certainly one step closer to implementing/integrating them into our daily lives.
