Chase the Lion: If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It's Too Small

Product Information

For most people, that situation wouldn't just be a proble- - it would be the last problem they ever faced. Based upon 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. He tells stories that inspire, and his church planting experience inspires me to always envision a bigger, better, brighter future.

Straight from God’s Word, Chase the Lion is a great message for any team and for people in every walk of life. I have read some great books in the past few years, but I don’t believe any have impacted me as much as Mark Batterson’s, Chase The Lion! Only when the dream is dead and buried can it be resurrected for God’s glory………Don’t put a period where God puts a comma.

And it’s not the immediate impact that matters most; it’s the exponential impact, to the third and fourth generations.

These have all greatly influenced me and I hope that I can influence my children and others I know and share my work with to influence millions for many generations to come. But it may be setting the things in place for that future generation to accomplish those massive dreams. Batterson says all of the right things, mentioning topics like servant leadership, Christ-likeness, and focusing on eternal reward. Thank you Mark Batterson for being a leader who chases big dreams and for the encouragement and inspiration you have provided to me. Chase the Lion not only helped me take a fresh look at my life’s purpose, but it also gave me the renewed energy to dream big and work hard.If we aren t courageous and bold enough to extend ourselves and believe that God will give us the capacity for greatness, we will have cheated our potential. This undated week-at-a-glance 12-month planner features excerpts from Chase the Lion sprinkled throughout to encourage the user to face their fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God.
