CHASE THE LION is my first foray into the world of Mark Batterson's books and I am very happy to report that it is WELL worth the read. I highlighted many amazing passages as well as had my eyes, heart, mind, and soul open to a number of scripture verses that I had never paid attention to more than a passing read--and I'm one who has read through my Bible each year for several years now. But I LOVE that the Holy Spirit continues to reveal scripture to me. It is proof positive that the Bible IS the living, breathing, Word of God. No matter how often I read His Word, no matter how many times I study a passage of scripture, He is always able to make SOMETHING new for me! I LOVE THAT!!
People ask me all the time why and how I can read the same book over and over again. For me, reading a book the first time is incredible wonderment, but reading it a second time reveals secrets I missed the first time. And the next time, even more secrets, and so on! Great books never get old or tiresome. The Bible is like that for me as is a number of books I have read over the years and now CHASE THE LION can be added to that short list.
I will also be reading Mark Batterson's other books throughout this year. I sincerely hope others will join me. Here's a link to Batterson's web site: http://chasethelion.com/
I did not expect CHASE THE LION to be so much about following our Dreams.
