Mark Batterson reminds us to trust in the powerful truth that with God we dont have to let our thinking be limited. By obeying Him, we let our growing faith push us to dream big and lean in ever closer to Him without fear or hesitation. Its time to trust in our God, who allows us to accomplish things that seem bigger than we could ever imagine!

We seek out community in everything we doand our dreams should be no different. In Chase the Lion, Batterson reminds us to come together, share our dreams, and chase after them. And in doing so, we become not only dream chasers but dream catchers for the others in our pride.

Pastor Mark has done it again! This is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt discouraged or disappointed. Chase the Lion not only helped me take a fresh look at my lifes purpose, but it also gave me the renewed energy to dream big and work hard. Pastor Mark is truly gifted at making Gods Word accessible and encouraging.

Chase the Lion fosters an expansive mind-set that drives our willingness to dream bigger than ever before. This mind-set is a choice, a decision, and a belief that God designed and created each of us for greatness, nothing less. If we arent courageous and bold enough to extend ourselves and believe that God will give us the capacity for greatness, we will have cheated our potential. This book is for anyone scared of not achieving the real greatness they are capable of.

I just finished Chase the Lion and am in tears, in awe of how my God created me to be a warrior for His great name. Marks words force me to ask and answer: What lions am I chasing? What dreams am I dreaming that will make a difference in my children and my childrens children and a hundred years from now?
