Chase the Lion: If Your Dream Doesn’t Scare You, It’s Too Small: summary, description and annotation

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! Thats what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five hundred pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power..
Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; its a radically different approach to life. Its only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream.
Quit playing it safe and start running towards the roar!
This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they are impossible to achieve. Quit running away from what youre afraid of.
Chase the lion!
Change the world!
What is Your Five Hundred 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 II 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 dayand then killed it. For most people, that situation wouldnt just be a problemit 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 Davids bodyguard and eventually became Commander-in-Chief of Israels army under King Solomon.
Written 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 five hundred pound dreams in your life.

T IM T EBOW
Creative. Inspiring. Challenging. Battersons writings always leave us encouraged, and Chase the Lion is no exception. If you feel as if life has caused you to shrink the size of your dreams, this book is for you!
L OUIE G IGLIO , pastor of Passion City Church, founder of Passion Conferences, and author of The Comeback
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!
C RAIG G ROESCHEL , pastor of Life.Church and author of #Struggles: Following Jesus in a Selfie-Centered World
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.
S TEVEN F URTICK, pastor of Elevation Church and New York Times best-selling author
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.
M ARA S CHIAVOCAMPO , Good Morning America correspondent
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.
B UZZ W ILLIAMS , head basketball coach at Virginia Tech
Mark Battersons writing has had a profound impact on my life, both personally and professionally. Join me in accepting Marks challenge to pursue a dream so big that only God can turn it into a reality. Life is better when youre chasing lions!
K IRK C OUSINS , quarterback for the Washington Redskins
Marks books have inspired me and helped me to inspire our team. Straight from Gods Word, Chase the Lion is a great message for any team and for people in every walk of life.
J OHN H ARBAUGH , head coach of the Baltimore Ravens
Mark Batterson is an outstanding voice among the emerging generation of pastors in the US. He has much wisdom to offer anyone who wants to draw closer to Jesus, combining brilliantly the vision and clarity of a pioneer with the warmth and kindness of a pastor.
N ICKY G UMBEL , vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton
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?
H UGH F REEZE Jr., head football coach at the University of Mississippi

To the Lion Chasers
You have faced your fears and chased your dreams. Keep running to the roar!
The Lion Chasers 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 dont let go!
Live like today is the first day and last day of your life.
Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails.
Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.
