Chase the Lion: If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It's Too Small

Product Information

If we aren’t courageous and bold enough to extend ourselves and believe that God will give us the capacity for greatness, we will have cheated our potential. The cure for the fear of failure is failure in small enough doses that we build up an immunity to it. With grit and gusto, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream.

This undated week-at-a-glance 12-month planner features excerpts from Chase the Lion sprinkled throughout to encourage the user to face their fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God. He wasn't afraid of offending Pharisees; touching lepers; washing feet; defending prostitutes; or befriending tax collectors. He tracks paw prints in the freshly fallen snow, finally coming to the place where the ground has given way beneath the lion’s five-hundred-pound frame.Join me in accepting Mark’s challenge to pursue a dream so big that only God can turn it into a reality. Based upon 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it.

NOTE: The Chase the Lion Weekly Planner: Organize Your Life, Achieve Your Goals will be available from Multnomah on August 20, 2019. Sometimes the greatest opposition to what God wants to do next comes from those who were on the cutting edge of what God did last. Written in a way that both challenges and encourages, the revolutionary message of Chase the Lion will help unleash the faith and courage people need to identify, chase, and catch the 500-hundred pound dreams in their lives. He also brags every couple of pages about how big his own dream is and now does millions of dollars worth of work etc.Each week has space in the margin for trackable items such as the week’s goals, goals met, prayer requests, to-do lists, etc.

I don’t know if it was the look in his eye or the spear in his hand, but the lion turns tail and Benaiah gives chase. Your greatest legacy is the next generation of dreamers that your dream inspires – the dreams within a dream. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream.

Jim’s wife Elizabeth tells of a time when Jim went to a football game and dreamed about stadiums of people cheering for Jesus. He climbs all the way up the military chain-of-command to become Commander-in-Chief of Israel's army. Rather than seeing a 500-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show his power. Chase the Lion fosters an expansive mind-set that drives our willingness to dream bigger than ever before.
