Killin’ Lions, Winter Days.

One of my favourite church bloggers is Mark Batterson. Mark Batterson is lead pastor of National Community Church (www.theaterchurch.com) in Washington, DC, blogs @ www.evotional.com.

He has just finished writing his first book all about an obscure yet courageous act in 2 Samuel 23:20-21. This dude is a great blogger and I cannot wait to read the rest of this book. My life right now requires me to chase down some lions so I am pumped to get my hot little hands on this book!

Pick it up here at Amazon.

“Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn’t chase. You will regret the risks not taken, the opportunities not seized and the 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 (II Samuel 23:20-21): Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it.
