I finally got a chance to read Mark Batterson’s book In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day. I am not the kind of person who jumps on someones band wagon because everyone else is but I really like Mark’s stuff: this book, his blog and the church where he is the lead guy.
Back to the book. I was really surprised at how much encouragement, correction, vision and wisdom you could pull out of 2 verses in the Old Testament but he did it. In A Pit is a great book to help you pull yourself up by your boot straps and get back on the right path that God is leading you down. It was full of great reminders packaged in new and thought provoking ways. My favorite quote from the book is “maybe faith has less to do with gaining knowledge and more to do with causing wonder?” I was challenged and encouraged to look at the situation that God has put me in ask myself how I was looking at it. Did I need to reframe it or like my friend Chris leave my position? Mark did a great job of writing this book so that everyone could read it and be challenged in their unique situation. I hope that you will give In A Pit a chance to benefit your life and ministry. Mark has also put together the resources his church put together for their series based on the book free over at www.chasethelion.com.
