¡Deja de caminar seguro y comienza a correr hacia el rugido! Persigue tu león es más que un eslogan; se trata de un enfoque radicalmente diferente ante la vida. Solo cuando dejamos de temer al fracaso podemos agarrar a la oportunidad por la melena. Cuando la imagen de una bestia devoradora de hombres viaja a través del nervio óptico hacia la corteza visual, el cerebro transmite un mensaje urgente al cuerpo: ¡huye! Eso es lo que hacen las personas normales, pero no los perseguidores de leones. Más que ver un problema de doscientos cincuenta kilos, ven una oportunidad para que Dios aparezca y muestre su poder. Persigue tu león es más que un eslogan; se trata de un enfoque radicalmente diferente ante la vida. Solo cuando dejamos de temer al fracaso podemos agarrar a la oportunidad por la melena. Con garra y entusiasmo, el autor de best sellers del New York Times, Mark Batterson entrega un mensaje audaz a todos aquellos que tengan un gran sueño.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION   Over 100,000 copies sold!   Quit playing it safe and start running toward the roar!   When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body a simple but urgent message: Run away! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a 500-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show his power. Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would be impossible to achieve. Quit running away from what you’re afraid of.   Chase the lion! Change the world!   What is your 500-pound dream?   In this highly anticipated sequel to his best-selling In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Mark Batterson invites lion chasers everywhere to chase dreams so impossible that victory demands we face our fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God. These are the kind of dreams that will make you a bigger person and the world a better place.   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. For most people, that situation wouldn’t just be a problem...it would be the last problem they ever faced. For Benaiah, it was an opportunity to step into his destiny. After defeating the lion, he landed his dream job as King David’s bodyguard and eventually became commander-in-chief of Israel’s army under King Solomon.   Crafted in a way that both challenges and encourages, this revolutionary book will help unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the 500-pound dreams in your life.

Cómo sobrevivir y triunfar cuando la adversidad ruge El remordimiento más grande que tendrás al finalizar tu vida será que los leones no te persiguieron. ¡Desata al caza leones dentro de ti!   Mirarás hacia atrás con anhelo a los riesgos que no tomaste, las oportunidades que desaprovechaste, los sueños que no perseguiste.

In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: “Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it” (2 Samuel 23:20 -21).

Most of us have no idea where we're going most of the time. Perfect. "Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit-An Geadh-Glas, or 'the Wild Goose.' The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something....Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.” --from the introduction
