The ERV New Testament book of Mark is a clear and easy-to-understand translation of the original text. It does a great job of conveying the message and teachings of Jesus in a modern language that is accessible to readers of all ages. The formatting and layout of the book are also well done, making it easy to follow along and stay engaged with the text.

The commentary provided throughout the book helps to provide context and further explanation of the passages, making the teachings even more impactful and relevant to modern-day Christians. The study notes and questions at the end of each chapter are also helpful for personal reflection and group discussion.

Overall, this version of the book of Mark is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the teachings of Jesus and grow in their faith. I highly recommend it to both new believers and seasoned Christians alike.

Book Description:
The Gospel according to Mark, also called the Gospel of Mark, or simply Mark, is the second of the four canonical gospels and of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist, his Transfiguration on a mountain, his describing of the Greatest Commandments, to his death, burial, and the discovery of his empty tomb. There is no miraculous birth or doctrine of divine pre-existence, nor, in the original ending, any post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. It portrays Jesus as a heroic man of action, and credits him with being an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker. He is also called the Son of God, but keeps his messianic nature secret, with even his disciples failing to understand him.
