In a Pit With a Lion On a Snowy Day

An Old Testament story of uncommon courage inspires this energizing invitation to embrace opportunities that seem terrible or unmanageable. These are often exactly the challenges we need to take our lives to the next level or to boost our capabilities so we'll be ready for the next problem God throws at us. A minister and writer, Batterson goes beyond traditional Christian preaching by promoting imagination and spark in our daily lives. More than just complying and surviving, he wants us to seek more responsibility, act courageously in measured doses, and initiate more satisfying personal discoveries. An engaging and clear speaker, Batterson's vocal optimism seems innocent at first, and one questions his depth. But over time, sincerity and solid thinking predominate to make this an empowering audio. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
