New York Times best-selling author and pastor Mark Batterson believes the key to radically increasing your faith, joy, and abundance can be found in these three words: Flip the blessing. His discovery started with a simple experiment. Whenever Batterson received a blessing, he would give a similar blessing away. If someone paid him a compliment or gave him a gift or went out of their way to help him, he would return the favor by doing something similar for someone else.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 415
The Gospel costs nothing. You can't earn it or buy it. It can only be received as a free gift compliments of God's grace. It doesn't cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that we go "all in," a term that simply means placing all that you have into God's hands. Pushing it all in. And that's where we get stuck - spiritual no man's land. We're afraid that if we go all in that we might miss out on what this life has to offer. It's not true. The only thing you'll miss out on is everything God has to offer. And the good news is this: if you don't hold out on God, God won't hold out on you.

Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would be impossible to achieve.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 150
Most of us have no idea where we're going most of the time. Perfect. "Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit - An Geadh-Glas, or 'the Wild Goose.' The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something.

In both sports and war, athletes and soldiers must work to have a mental edge to successfully deal with all that they encounter. While success for both is typically defined as overcoming their respective opponents, the reality is that their victories can never happen unless they’ve first won their internal battles. I Declare War is a practical guide for fighting our inner war, the struggle against sin that breaks us down and fills our lives with pain and suffering, in turn making us feel weak and inadequate.

Publisher's Summary
What happens when we take Jesus at his word when he says, "I have come that you might have life and have it to the full?" New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson and his mentor, Richard Foth, have done just that with their lives - and in A Trip Around the Sun, they show listeners how they too can experience their lives and faith as the ultimate adventure.
In a fun, storytelling style, Mark and Dick challenge listeners to shake off fear, dream big, and quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. The accumulated wisdom from their combined 117 trips around the sun radiates from every heartfelt minute, invigorating those of us who have found ourselves stuck in a rut dug by our sense of duty and our fear of the unknown. Anyone who wants to grab life and squeeze every ounce of joy out of it will be inspired by this unapologetic celebration of the life Jesus died to give us.

Worth every minute
This book sparks renewal and reset.....they inspire as they story tell and they reveal the heart of God in the path put before any one of us . A great start to a new year or a new day. Have loved both men as teaching pastors through podcast for the last several years, but this book takes it up a notch and inspires my desire to fight complacency and following the cultural herd; it renews my desire to leave a legacy for my children and to look at the second half of my life as the starting point! Thanks Richard Foth and Mark Batterson. WELL DONE!

Best Book Ever! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!
I am a total Mark Batterson fan, but this book blended with Richard Foth and read by them was by far the most inspirational and thought provoking book I've read. It is chucked full of so many God nuggets that I am going to buy it in book form so I can highlight and remember all the great stuff. This is a MUST read for all Christians that needs their motivation recharged or just want to be challenged. I just loved it. Write some more together guys!! I love you Richard Foth! Don't care how old you are!

Great Challenge to live a life of Adventure
The telling of this by two friends who have experienced and valued many adventures was very interesting. It was great the way the two of them tell their own stories and how they value the friendship of each other.
