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! What if the life you really want, and the future God wants for you, is hiding right now in your biggest problem, your worst failure… your greatest fear ? Story Behind the Book “Our best days often start out as our worst days. And our greatest opportunities are often disguised as our biggest problems. You can land in a pit with a lion on a snowy day, and it will seem like the end of the road. But God is in the recycling business. He recycles past experiences and uses them to prepare us for future opportunities. That is the story of my life. And that is the story of your life. Look in the rearview mirror long enough and you’ll see that God has purposely positioned you everywhere you’ve been—even when it seemed you’d taken a wrong turn.” —Mark Batterson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - EXCELLENT READ!!!!UNBELIVEABLE INSITE!!! I wasn't really looking forward to reading this book at first, but once I got through the first page I knew this was a winner! I have never been drawn so much to really focus on my life and the "lions" I should be chasing...this book has changed my way of life and I have passed it on to my husband...and he feels the same way. I encourage anyone and everyone to read this book and take a new look at your life and where you should be. I plan to share this book with our congregation ...

I don't write reviews often- but this one deserves a high five. Rating: - Jabez Meets Wild at HeartLike a thin book that sold millions of copies a few years back, "In a Pit..." takes one little-known verse from the Old Testament and expounds on it. Like that other book ("The Prayer of Jabez"), Batterson is intent on giving us a feel-good message and revealing a side of God's nature we sometimes ignore. On the other hand, he moves away from the prosperity-oriented ideas into the practical world of risk, failure, and uncertainty. This book is for all the adventurers among us, as well as for ... Read More Rating: - Loved it!Pastor Mark takes an often overlooked section of Scripture about Benaiah and helps the reader understand the greater picture that is revealed. Mark then encourages the reader to not only understand the greater picture in Scripture, but to apply it within our own lives as well. Now that I have finished the book, I can say the real challenge is evaluating life and being sensitive to a myriad of opportunities that present themselves to me on a daily basis.
