In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day
By Mark Batterson
BS 1325.52B38 2006
An inspirational book that encourages readers to make the
most of opportunities and realize God’s power whatever the circumstances. Using examples from the Bible, Batterson illuminates
the truth that sometimes what seems like huge problems and obstacles in life
can become the biggest blessings.
However, we must be willing to “chase lions” or face fears and rise to
the greatness that God knows we are capable of.
