Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path. <i>In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day <\/i>is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: \u201cBenaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it\u201d (2 Samuel 23:20 -21). Unleash the lion chaser within!<\/p>\n<p><b>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\u2026your greatest fear? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story Behind the Book<\/b><br \/>\n\u201cOur 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\u2019ll see that God has purposely positioned you everywhere you\u2019ve been\u2014even when it seemed you\u2019d taken a wrong turn.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014Mark Batterson<\/p>\n<p>You can take a look inside the book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001E2NXAM\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&amp;btkr=1#reader_B001E2NXAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, and then purchase a hard copy from the <strong>MAR Regional Discipleship Ministries Office<\/strong> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001E2NXAM\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn&#8217;t chase.
