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! #InAPit

"Mark has become one of the most important voices for a new generation. Anything he touches changes lives. Read this book and you'll see what I mean."
-- Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, author of Chazown and Dare to Drop the Pose

"As a leader and teacher, Mark Batterson brings imagination, energy, and insight. I appreciate his willingness to take bold risks and go to extraordinary lengths to reach our culture with a message that is truly relevant."
-- Ed Young, senior pastor, Fellowship Church

"Don't settle for a normal life. Conquer your fears, accept His anointing, jump into that pit, chase the lion, and watch God's Kingdom come in amazing ways."
-- Christine Caine, founder of Propel Women, author of Unashamed
