Publisher's summary

Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path.

In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: "Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it" (2 Samuel 23:20 -21). Unleash the lion chaser within!

Very encouraging

Very encouraging and challenging! Well worth it. This book has encouraged me to face the fears that have been holding me back for years and to chase my lion of starting a new Holiday to celebrate Jesus as King. A coronation holiday in preparation for His soon return.

Encouraging, admonishing and exciting read

Read this book, then get out there and achieve the impossible for Jesus!! Mark’s inspired masterpiece is a must-read for all believers wondering if we’re leaving the power of the Holy Spirit on the table as we go about our daily lives.

What's Stopping You?

This is an awesome read and motivator. Motivating in the way of living your life unafraid! Mark Batterson challenges us to step out of our tired life, face our fears (which are mostly self-imposed), and live to fulfil the life God has planned for you. Trusting that your faith in God, and the knowledge that He keeps his promises, is sufficient for you to move out and be bold in all your undertakings and life adventures.
