Chase the Lion

by Mark Batterson

From the story of Benaiah, who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day, Batterson builds a case for pursuing God-sized dreams rather than running from them, with a lion-chaser's manifesto. It is motivational Christianity, punchy and repetitive.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you are a Christian who needs courage for a big step.

Skip it if…

you want depth or are not religious.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Run toward the thing you fear.
  2. Opportunity often looks like danger.
  3. Faith is acting before you are certain.

Do this first

Name the lion you have been running from and take one step toward it this week.

Our verdict

Punchy motivation.
