Dr. Michael Kruger joins Cameron and Anna to discuss the new family devotional he wrote with his wife, Melissa Kruger: The Good News Family Devotional: 52 Weeks Through the Gospel of Mark. Drawing on his experience as a father of three young adults, Dr. Kruger shares the beauty and the challenges of having a family devotion time. He also shares why they chose Mark for this study, and how this particular gospel lends itself well to family discussion.

Michael J. Kruger (PhD) serves as the Samuel C. Patterson Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Reformed Theological Seminary. He is one of the leading scholars today in the origins of the New Testament and is the author of 14 books, including Surviving Religion 101: Letters to a Christian Student on Keeping the Faith in College.
