Description

The ancient writers tell us that Mark wrote down the words of Peter as he described what it was like to follow Jesus around Galilee and Judea. That's why Mark's gospel is so fast-paced and action-packed. He wants us to experience the same highs and lows as Peter in his journey of discovery. Through Mark's gospel, we are able to discover Jesus for ourselves. Mark invites us to step into the story. God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

I enjoy reading Phil Moore s books. He writes about Jesus and the Christian life with perception, wisdom and wit.
- Nicky Gumbel
In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently. We so need to get into the Scriptures and let the Scriptures get into us. The fact that Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to biblical revelation means that we are genuinely helped to be shaped by the Bible s teaching.
- Terry Virgo
Fresh. Solid. Simple. Really good stuff.
- R. T. Kendall
Phil makes the deep truths of Scripture alive and accessible. If you want to grow in your understanding of each book of the Bible, then buy these books and let them change your life!
- P J Smyth , GodFirst Church, Johannesburg, South Africa
Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you !
- Canon Michael Green
These notes are amazingly good. Phil s insights are striking, original, and fresh, going straight to the heart of the text and the reader! Substantial yet succinct, they bristle with amazing insights and life applications, compelling us to read more. Bible reading will become enriched and informed with such a scintillating guide. Teachers and preachers will find nuggets of pure gold here!
- Greg Haslam , Westminster Chapel, London, UK
The Bible is living and dangerous. The ones who teach it best are those who bear that in mind - and let the author do the talking. Phil has written these studies with a sharp mind and a combination of creative application and reverence.
- Joel Virgo, Leader of Newday Youth Festival
Phil Moore s new commentaries are outstanding: biblical and passionate, clear and well-illustrated, simple and profound. God s Word comes to life as you read them, and the wonder of God shines through every page.
- Andrew Wilson , Author of Incomparable and If God Then What?
Want to understand the Bible better? Don t have the time or energy to read complicated commentaries? The book you have in your hand could be the answer. Allow Phil Moore to explain and then apply God s message to your life. Think of this book as the Bible s message distilled for everyone.
- Adrian Warnock , Christian blogger
Phil Moore presents Scripture in a dynamic, accessible and relevant way. The bite-size chunks - set in context and grounded in contemporary life - really make the make the Word become flesh and dwell among us.
- Dr David Landrum , The Bible Society
Through a relevant, very readable, up to date storying approach, Phil Moore sets the big picture, relates God s Word to today and gives us fresh insights to increase our vision, deepen our worship, know our identity and fire our imagination. Highly recommended!
- Geoff Knott , former CEO of Wycliffe Bible Translators UK
What an exciting project Phil has embarked upon! These accessible and insightful books will ignite the hearts of believers, inspire the minds of preachers and help shape a new generation of men and women who are seeking to learn from God s Word.
- David Stroud , Newfrontiers and ChristChurch London

Conclusion: Step into the Story
About the Straight to the Heart Series

On his eightieth birthday, Sir Winston Churchill dismissed the compliment that he was the lion who had defeated Nazi Germany in World War Two. He told the Houses of Parliament that It was a nation and race dwelling all around the globe that had the lion s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
I hope that God speaks to you very powerfully through the roar of the books in the Straight to the Heart series. I hope they help you to understand the books of the Bible and the message which the Holy Spirit inspired their authors to write. I hope that they help you to hear God s voice challenging you, and that they provide you with a springboard for further journeys into each book of Scripture for yourself.
But when you hear my roar , I want you to know that it comes from the heart of a much bigger lion than me. I have been shaped by a whole host of great Christian thinkers and preachers from around the world, and I want to give due credit to at least some of them here:

Terry Virgo, David Stroud, Dave Holden, John Hosier, Adrian Holloway, Greg Haslam, Lex Loizides and all those who lead the Newfrontiers family of churches; friends and encouragers, such as Stef Liston, Joel Virgo, Stuart Gibbs, Scott Taylor, Nick Sharp, Nick Derbridge, Phil Whittall, and Kevin and Sarah Aires; Tony Collins, Jenny Ward, Simon Cox and Margaret Milton at Monarch Books; Malcolm Kayes and all the elders of The Coign Church, Woking; my fellow elders and church members here at Everyday Church in London; my great friend Andrew Wilson - without your friendship, encouragement and example, this series would never have happened.
I would like to thank my parents, my brother Jonathan, and my in-laws, Clive and Sue Jackson. Dad - your example birthed in my heart the passion which brought this series into being. I didn t listen to all you said when I was a child, but I couldn t ignore the way you got up at five o clock every morning to pray, read the Bible and worship, because of your radical love for God and for his Word. I d like to thank my children - Isaac, Noah, Esther and Ethan - for keeping me sane when publishing deadlines were looming. But most of all, I m grateful to my incredible wife, Ruth - my friend, encourager, corrector and helper.
You all have the lion s heart, and you have all developed the lion s heart in me. I count it an enormous privilege to be the one who was chosen to sound the lion s roar.

So welcome to the Straight to the Heart series. My prayer is that you will let this roar grip your own heart too - for the glory of the great Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ!
