The Spiritual Landscape of Mark
Reviews
Thurston's work is unique and any study of the gospel of Mark would be enriched by her work.
The Christian Librarian
If you want to see something new in the work of the first evangelist, a couple of hours spent with this book might well be the prompting that you need.
The Way
Poetry (the author's own, and that of others, including R.S. Thomas), references to spiritual writers--including several to Thomas Merton--and to other parts of Scripture are scattered throughout each chapter such that the writing never becomes dull or predictable. . . . It would make an excellent gift for anyone at any stage of the journey of discipleship, including the bored, the busy, and the beginner.

The Stones of the Last Week reflects on the impediments to Easter, challenging us to consider our own “stones,”—the difficulties, hindrances, and obstructions in our spiritual lives—from the perspective of talking stones, stones of destruction, impermanent stones, stones that measure distances, and the stone marking life and death. Turn to this enriching resource as Lent unfolds into Easter, or for personal reading and reflection throughout the year.
Bonnie B. Thurston, after years as a university and seminary professor, lives quietly in her home state of West Virginia. She is the author o
