In her first full-length treatment of a synoptic Gospel, the author of Not Counting Women and Children provides a roadmap for Christian discipleship. Megan McKenna opens up the text, demonstrating what it meant to Jesus' disciples and to the community that became the early church. Ever the master storyteller, McKenna also presents stories that reinforce Mark's message as she proceeds chapter by chapter through the Gospel. The crux of the matter is, always, what Mark has to say to us today. McKenna writes, "We must walk with the companions of Jesus, with Peter, James, and John and the others, men and women like us, and let the Gospel convict us, convert us, confirm us, and call us to repentance."

Megan ha logrado con su comentario que leamos el evangelio de Marcos como lo leyo la comunidad a la cual iba dirigido en principio. No es una tarea facil pero el libro esta escrito con sencillez y no habra lector, que quiera ir hasta el fondo del evangelio de Marcos, que no lo consiga con este libro. Megan es muy aficionada a las historias y los cuentos para ilustrar su enorme caudal de conocimiento. Yo no las hubiera necesitado y el libro podria haberse quedado en doscientas paginas en vez de las doscientas veintiocho que tiene. Pero, entiendo, que a muchos lectores estas historias puedan ayudarles a disfrutar de la vieja sabiduria.
