Miracles in Mark
by David Spell
Imprint: Resource Publications
David Spell is a retired police officer. After thirty years of patrolling some of the meanest streets in America, he and his wife, Annie, have turned their attention to South America. They are involved in pastoring, training leaders, and helping plant churches throughout Brazil. David has a PhD in theology and also taught for many years at the C3 Church School of Ministry near Atlanta. David and Annie were part of the leadership team there before being sent to Brazil. David's four books with Wipf & Stock reflect a bit of his diverse background. His doctoral dissertation, Peter and Paul in Acts, was his first book. His second work was Miracles in Mark. These two books are excellent resources and Bible study tools. His next two books are autobiographical looks at his career in law enforcement. Street Cop and Street Cop Two: Reloaded contain exciting stories from his time as a police officer.
"As with any study of Scripture, we do not just want to understand what the writer intended to say to his original audience. We also want to understand what spiritual truths lay hidden in the pages, waiting to be mined through prayer and study. This discussion will examine the miracles and supernatural experiences in both contexts. We will attempt to get the feel of what a first century believer might have felt when hearing these stories for the first time."
