In A Pit With A Lion on A Snowy Day Review

I honestly didn't expect to learn very much from In a Pit With A Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

The main thesis of the book is that Christians should take risks and trust God, rather than giving in to fear or complacency. He encourages readers to change their perspective of trials and look at them as opportunities for God to do a miracle rather than as needless burdens.

Batterson uses illustrations from the Bible, history, and his own life to reinforce his points. His writing style, although not exceedingly impressive, is explicit and concise. Batterson possesses a great deal of knowledge, which shines through in this book.

If you're going through a hard time, struggling with a decision, or need some motivation to step out of your complacent zone, I highly recommend this book to you.
