I loved In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, so I was really excited about this follow-up book...And then I was really disappointed. This was basically a rehash of the first book - same concept, same message, same stories. Don't get me wrong: it's all great. The concept, the message, and the stories are all fantastic. I just didn't need them reorganized and repeated.
Mark Batterson has had some really great books in the past few years, all of which were fresh, interesting concepts. I don't know why he had to dig up an old one and rehash it.
Maybe I missed something, because this book is getting very good reviews. And it does deserve good reviews. But I still feel a bit cheated because I didn't find much that was new or fresh - just a repeat of the first book.
Of course, I look forward eagerly to further books (and podcasts) by the author.
