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!

Big & Great!

I love this book! It reminded me of all my big dreams; and the times when people (even the ones that love me) discouraged me from doing the BIG and GREAT things and to settle for the doable and good things...Against loving advice I left the comfortable and good...this book encourages me to not just chase the lion but to full on jump in the pit, mo holds bar! Sword in hand God in heart! Dreams here I come, World look out! Sonya

Must Read for Christian Men

Mark Batterson went with a less "popular" bible story to convey a powerful message of chasing God-Sized Dreams.

In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and Wild at Heart is a must read for all Christian Men.

Keeps you coming backing

Loved this story straight from the Bible, and yet so many applications that fit my life. I’ll be keeping this one in my library to read again and again. It reminds me that God is the one who writes my story. I only need to be willing to live it.

Powerful Words of Encouragement

It was a very powerful encouraging word! I have some things that I need to do that I would rather not do but I know it is time! Time to chase the lion into the pit on a snowy day!
