In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day: How to Survive and Thrive When Opportunity Roars (Paperback) by Mark Batterson is one very inspiring read.
The book is inspired by the Biblical character, Benaiah, who chased and killed a lion into a pit on a snowy day. This is rather crazy but eventually the author shows why it is not.
In the who course of the book, I am always drawn back to think of the author's words, "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 greatest fear?"
I am then able to recall many of what I called at first as problems but were actually opportunities. Some are even what are called God-ordained opportunities!
Like in The Circle Maker, the author is able to create that vivid imagery of the scenes through his words.
Truly inspiring!
Recommended to those who have encountered many problems but too often find themselves running away.
