Chase The Lion
New Book by Mark Batterson
I recently had the honor of being selected to be on the launch team for Mark Patterson’s new book “Chase the Lion.” Today, I got a sneak peek of the first two chapters. I can honestly say that it’s the only work that I’ve read where I wanted to post every other sentence on Facebook or Twitter. Immediately, I was challenged to dream big, and to revive dreams I’ve set aside. He approaches the topic from a fresh perspective that I’d never thought of before. It is INSPIRING!
I can already tell that this book should go on everyone’s “Have To” read list.
What is your dream?
The Lion Chaser’s Manifesto
Quit living as if the purpose of life
is to arrive safely at death.
Run to the roar.
Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-given passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail
without divine intervention.
Stop pointing out problems. Become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past. Start creating the future. Face your fears. Fight for your dreams.
Grab opportunity by the mane and don’t let go!
Live like today is the rst day and last day of your life. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails.
Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you
keep you from worshiping what’s right with God. Dare to fail. Dare to be different.
Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
Chase the lion.
