Noyes shares, “Hanging Out with Mark offers a unique forty-day experience of reading, reflecting, and discerning what Mark’s messages might mean in today’s times. The creative writing by the author includes musings and stories that are based on the author’s personal insights and experiences. Each daily verse is accompanied by a carefully selected photograph.
