Drawing upon a number of scripture texts from the Gospel of Mark, this collection of sermons speaks about many challenges on the road to Christian maturity. The call of the gospel is given to all who find themselves in sticky human circumstances, whether they are troubled by relationships, tainted by affluence, tired of the career ladder, traumatized by persecution, of threatened by death. When people enter into the community of faith it may take a while for them to grow into mature membership within God's family. They may need to be weaned from selfish actions, stingy habits and resentful attitudes. This book addresses those challenges.
