In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day
by Mark Batterson
Built on two verses about Benaiah, who chased a lion into a pit, Batterson argues Christians should chase opportunities that look like threats: reframe risk, defy odds, unlearn fear. It is energetic, sermon-shaped and the best of his books.
Read it if…
you want a faith-based book on courage and risk.
Skip it if…
you are not a Christian reader; the frame is total.
Three things you will actually use
- Opportunity often looks like a lion in a pit.
- Unlearn fear deliberately.
- Faith is spelled r-i-s-k.
Do this first
Name the lion you have been avoiding and the first step into the pit.
Our verdict
Chase the lion.
