Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson


Mark Batterson is at it again. He has written another inspiring, motivating, and challenging book. If you liked In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day, then you will love Wild Goose Chase. It's a quick and easy read, full of quotes and concepts just waiting to be underscored. But most of all, Wild Goose Chase shows us the incredible adventure that is our past, present, and future with God. The chapter on Sometimes It Takes A Shipwreck really resonated with me. I read it twice!

Here is a summary of the book from the introduction:
"Most of us have no idea where we’re going most of the time. Perfect. Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit–An Geadh-Glas, or ‘the Wild Goose.’ The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it’s like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something….Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.”
