Product Information

One of the most powerful ideas passed along in this book is the idea of dreams being for the third and fourth generation.

This is a great insight, and if leaders embrace this truth it can have profound, generational outcomes.

You need a dream that doesn’t allow you to become spiritually sidetracked, a dream that demands your utmost for His highest.But you’ve got to admit, “I killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day” looks awfully impressive on your résumé, es- pecially if you’re applying for a bodyguard position with the king of Israel. Mark is married to Lora and they live on Capitol Hill with their three children: Parker, Summer, and Josiah.

Then, if I’m producing the film, there is a postcredit scene like in the Marvel superhero movies—Benaiah’s cage fight with a giant Egyptian.I just finished reading Mark Batterson’s new book, Chase The Lion: If Your Dream Doesn’t Scare You, It’s Too Small. This is a war we’re in, and the enemy hates the Gospel, or anyone who spreads the hope of its message. This book of encouragement and spurring on revolves around the Mighty Men that supported King David during a tumultuous time in Israel’s political history.
