As a child Wendy Craig had a strong faith, but as she grew older, God was squeezed out of her life. In the busyness of her career and family life, she thought she could manage on her own. It was only later on, approaching 40, that she discovered the emptiness she felt inside and the longing for God again. Reflecting on the Gospel of Mark she finds, 'the whole book unfolds like a wonderful piece of drama, which builds to an amazing climax at the end.' The entire text of the Gospel of Mark, in the Good News Bible, forms the second part of the book.
