The Gospel According to St. Mark, vol. 1
Overview
The aim of this commentary is to simply and solely help the spiritual life of those who use it. J. D. Jones provides commentary on the Gospel of Mark, treating the most perplexing passages and drawing out the general character and lessons from the book. But The Gospel According to St. Mark remains primarily and distinctively a devotional volume—a book which the Bible reader can take up day-by-day and find that it aids him in applying the words of Holy Scripture to the needs of his own personal character and life. Volume one covers Mark 1–6:6.

Top Highlights
“‘The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth His handiwork.’ It is the same God who reigns in glory who has also made this earth of ours, and by understanding His laws in this lower realm we may gain glimpses into the laws of the realm of spirit and grace.” (Page 108)
“And we are impotent as a result. Victory will come back only when we are willing to be counted fools for Christ’s sake, and give ourselves ever, only, all to Him.” (Page 94)
“Christ’s piety issued in practical service. His practical service was nourished and sustained by His piety. In our Lord’s life, service and communion, work and prayer, each had its due and proper place. His was a perfectly ‘balanced’ life.” (Page 44)
“when the infinite love of God to the world in His son ceases to be a story, and becomes an experience” (Page 14)
“Notice, it is not mere outward connexion with Christ’s Church, nor the observance of the form of religion that gives us a place in the family, but only the doing of the will. Can Christ, as He looks upon us, say, ‘Behold My brother, My sister, My mother!’?” (Page 98)
Praise for the Print Edition
His commentary is homiletical rather than explanatory or doctrinal, but I still think it is one of the best.
