Series II, Cycle B (revised edition)
Dallas A. Bauninger

This book offers an abundance of insightful information on each of the nine miracle stories in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary — yet Brauninger intentionally avoids presenting a ready-made cloak of words for a morning sermon. Instead, she invites preachers and their audiences

Series III, Cycle B
Harold H. Lentz

One cannot read the miracles of Christ reported in the Gospel of Mark without being convinced of the divinity of Christ.
