Book overview

Jesus crossed a violent, storm-tossed sea to meet with a demon-possessed man, and He was willing to take along His disciples. Would any of us traverse a tumultuous sea so that a madman could receive the miracles of healing, knowing, and of walking with Jesus? In an attempt to imagine what life was like for a man known as the demoniac, his fellow villagers, and the disciples who traveled with Christ, Laura Donovan chronicles the back story in Mark 4 of how this beloved son became a destructive force and then had his life completely restored after his visit from Jesus, ultimately impacting his community in many ways. Through her retelling, Donovan reminds believers to trust the goodness of God, even when walking through the valleys of life. Included is a study guide for Mark 4:35-5:20 that contains thoughtful prompts and questions to encourage personal and spiritual reflection. The Day the God of All Hope Visited Me details the uplifting story of the day Jesus and His disciples visited a demon-possessed man and delivered the miracles of healing and restoration.
