Readers who seek a weighty theological treatise on the life of Christ will not find it in these pages. With a deft touch and down-to-earth humour, Adrian Plass offers a heartfelt response to the life and ministry of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of Mark.

'I have had a passion for Jesus for many year,' says Plass. 'In Jesus we meet a dynamic, hardworking, passionate member of the human race, a man, but a man who was also God. Stronger than all the powers of nature, he was nevertheless willing to become a servant so that people like you and I can be rescued from the worst of disasters.'

Plass brings his own unique perspective to this meditation on Mark, which has been broken into minety sections that can be read in any order or continuously. An adventurous, challenging, witty and often poignant look at the events in the life of Jesus, Never Mind the Reversing Ducks addresses the deep issues we all face.

ADRIAN PLASS  is a popular speaker and best-selling author whose over twenty books have been translated into many languages. Known for his ability to evoke both tears and laughter for a purpose, he has touched the hearts of thousands for over fifteen years. He lives in Sussex with his wife, Bridget.

"Perfect for those five minutes when you feel you ought to read the Bible but can't quite work out where to start.
-Church Times

"A delightful mixture of keen insight, pathos and humor. Mark is a well-known Gospel but Plass manages to open up a number of fresh windows of understanding on Jesus and what it means to follow him."
