Summer Reading

I accidentally happened upon a crazy good book: 



The back cover reads: 
WHAT IF 
THE LIFE YOU REALLY WANT, 
AND 
THE FUTURE
GOD WANTS FOR YOU, 
IS HIDING 
RIGHT 
NOW
IN YOUR BIGGEST 
PROBLEM,
YOUR WORST 
FAILURE...
YOUR GREASTEST 
FEAR?

I was invited to join a summer book study the morning it started, with this as the book of choice. I jumped at the chance :)


The basis of the book starts with the real biblical short story of Benaiah, a man who went into a pit, to kill a lion, on a snowy day.  

It's an easy read with extremely thought provoking and revealing insights. 

We all have crazy fears in all shapes and sizes or failures or major crisis...and how do we handle them? What are the qualities of men like Benaiah when faced with great fear? 


One out of dozens of great quotes in the book, love this one: 
"God is in the resume-building business. He is always using past experiences to prepare us for future opportunities. But those God-given opportunities often come disguised as man-eating lions. And how we react when we encounter those lions will determine our destiny." 


Highly recommend for all humans ;)
