Not My Circus

release date: Oct 20, 2026
Not My Circus
In a culture that touts tolerance but cancels for anything less than conformity, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson shows us how to rise above the shaming and blaming with holy courage, spiritual discernment, and amazing grace. The world has changed faster in the last twenty years than in the previous two hundred. Social media, AI, and endless outrage have reshaped how we relate to one another. The cultural pressure is unmistakable: conform or be shamed. The call to nonconformity is choosing faith over fear, truth over trends, and compassion over cancelling. It''s rejecting popular opinion, peer pressure, and political correctness when those are at odds with will of God. The fear of man is epidemic, but there is a cure—the fear of God that sets us free from every other fear. Exhausted by a culture that demands we fight every battle and weigh in on every issue? Not My Circus is Mark Batterson''s rallying cry against the status quo. Drawing on Romans 12:2—"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed"—Mark reveals how to resist cultural pressure without retreating from cultural engagement. You''ll learn how to cultivate a non-anxious presence by developing: Holy Courage – boldness to stand firm in your convictions without being controlled by others'' opinions Spiritual Discernment – the sense to know which battles are yours to fight and which ones aren''t Amazing Grace – the ability to engage those you disagree with without absorbing their anxiety or abandoning your witness For anyone ready to stop reflecting culture and instead transform it, Not My Circus offers a roadmap to escape the cult of conformity and live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.

Gradually Then Suddenly

release date: Nov 04, 2025
Gradually Then Suddenly
True success doesn’t happen overnight. The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reveals a life-changing truth about achievement: God is building you up steadily so you’re ready for overnight success. “How did you go bankrupt?” asked a character in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. The reply? “Two ways . . . gradually then suddenly.” In this illuminating book, Mark Batterson reveals that every area of life—from personal growth to professional development to spiritual transformation—follows this same pattern. What we perceive as sudden success is the result of little decisions compounding over time. Gradually Then Suddenly will help you • cultivate cathedral thinking—adopt a long-term perspective that changes your daily decisions and life trajectory • leverage the compound effect—discover how courageous decisions and consistent routines domino into life-changing results • harness the power of persistence—commit yourself to the long game, and the impossible becomes possible • curate core convictions—discover how to defy peer pressure, popular opinion, and political correctness by defining your deepest convictions Drawing from compelling biblical examples, fascinating historical stories, and hard-won leadership insights, Batterson demonstrates that God uses long obedience in the same direction to prepare us for sudden moments of major progress. For anyone feeling stuck in the “gradually” phase, this book is a beacon of hope. If you do the right things day in and day out, God is going to show up and show off His faithfulness—not just for you but for generations to come.

A Million Little Miracles
The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose. Think you’ve never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one! There never has been—and there never will be—anyone else like you. That isn’t a testament to you. It’s a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else’s. Simply put, you matter to God. Most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It’s time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It’s no wonder we’ve lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In A Million Little Miracles, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to the Creator and His creation: 1. God Is Bigger Than We Think—we can rest in His wisdom and strength 2. God Is Closer Than We Realize—we never have to do life alone 3. God Is Better Than We Imagine—we can reclaim our childlike wonder A million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you.

Do It for a Day
The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day challenges you to adopt seven powerful habits for thirty days and start your journey toward reaching your God-sized dreams. Destiny is not a mystery. Destiny is daily habits. Our lives are built on our patterns of behavior: both constructive and counterproductive habits. Whether we attain the things we desire—mental and physical health, financial freedom, fulfilling relationships—is determined by the things we do and the things we don’t. The good news? You’re one habit away from a totally different life! You don’t have to tackle the next 30 years. You just have to start with right now. In Do It for a Day, you’ll begin by identifying a change that is “3M”: measurable, meaningful, and maintainable. Habit formation is both an art and a science, and it helps to close the gap between you and your goals. You can do anything for a day, and those daily habits have a domino effect over time. Mark Batterson will help you hack your habits. Leveraging habit-making and habit-breaking techniques like habit switching and habit stacking, Mark will coach you step by step for 30 days that will change your life.

Chase the Lion
Over 100,000 copies sold! Quit playing it safe and start running toward the roar! When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body a simple but urgent message: run away! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power. Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would be impossible to achieve. Quit running away from what you’re afraid of. Chase the lion! Change the world! What is your five-hundred-pound dream? In this highly anticipated sequel to his best-selling In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Mark Batterson invites lion chasers everywhere to chase dreams so impossible that victory demands we face our fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God. These are the kind of dreams that will make you a bigger person and the world a better place. Based upon 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. For most people, that situation wouldn’t just be a problem…it would be the last problem they ever faced. For Benaiah, it was an opportunity to step into his destiny. After defeating the lion, he landed his dream job as King David’s bodyguard and eventually became commander-in-chief of Israel’s army under King Solomon. Written in a way that both challenges and encourages, this revolutionary book will help unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams in your life.
