Mark Batterson Libros

Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: “Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it” (2 Samuel 23:20 -21). Unleash the lion chaser within! #InAPit “Mark has become one of the most important voices for a new generation. Anything he touches changes lives.

'Gott lieben mit Herz, Seele, Verstand und Kraft!' Mark Batterson ('Kreiszieher') bringt den Kern des christlichen Glaubens auf den Punkt. Er verweist auf das wichtigste Gebot ('Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, von ganzem Herzen, von ganzer Seele, mit all deinen Gedanken und all deiner Kraft lieben.') und zeigt pointiert auf, wie wir Gott in diesen vier Dimensionen auf kreative Weise lieben können. Das fordert heraus, ist aber auch ungemein befreiend - denn die Gottesliebe ist so viel bunter, als wir sie uns normalerweise vorstellen. Und kann zu einer Glaubensrevolution führen.

Mark Batterson fordert dazu heraus, nicht länger halbe Sache zu machen und im geistlichen Niemandsland stecken zu bleiben, sondern alles für den auf eine Karte zu setzen, der alles in allem ist. Die rettende Gnade ist ein Geschenk - sie kostet nichts, aber fordert alles von uns. Es geht darum, alles für Gott zu geben. Dazu braucht es Mut. Kompromisslose Integrität. Wahre Opferbereitschaft. Oft haben wir Angst, etwas zu verpassen, wenn wir alles in Gottes Hände legen, aber das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Wir verpassen das, was er für uns hat. Doch wenn wir Gott nichts vorenthalten, wird auch er uns nichts vorenthalten.

Kann man noch an Wunder glauben oder sich vorstellen, selbst ein Wunder zu erleben? Kann man an Gott glauben, an Wunder aber nicht? Mark Batterson ladt dazu ein, die sieben Wunder Jesu aus dem Johannesevangelium des Neuen Testaments neu zu entdecken. DAbei kommt es ihm darauf an zu zeigen, dass Jesus diese Wunder nicht nur damals tat, sondern auch heute noch tun will! Batterson erzahlt von Menschen, die Gott auf ubernaturliche Weise in ihrem Leben erlebt haben. UNd er beschreibt zahllose Wunder, die taglich geschehen, die aber als selbstverstandlich betrachtet werden. SO hilft er dabei, Wunder wieder zu erkennen und zu begreifen!
