Deep Rooted: Growing through the Gospel of Mark

In Deep Rooted: Growing through the Gospel of Mark, Kathy Howard’s seminary education, passion for God’s Word, and vast Bible teaching experience come together in a unique devotional experience. Finally, a daily devotional with some meat on its bones!

Christians with an ongoing, committed relationship with God’s Word are like sturdy, healthy trees with roots deep in a life-giving water source (Psalm 1). Many Christians long for this, but either don’t know how to interact with Scripture or need help and encouragement to develop a regular habit. Deep Rooted, a 40-day devotional through the Gospel of Mark, is designed to help Christians get in, delight in, and apply God’s Word. In addition to a key verse and brief commentary or illustration, each 700-word devotion will utilize the 4-R inductive Bible study method. Readers will be prompted to READ a Scripture passage, RECORD what they see in the text, REFLECT on God’s meaning, and to ask God how they should RESPOND to His Word. Deep Rooted will:

• Show readers how to interact with God’s Word, not just read it
• Teach readers how to reflect on and respond to God’s Word
• Help readers develop a daily habit of being in the Bible
• Foster a delight for God’s Word that keeps readers coming back for more
• Encourage spiritual growth and stability
