Thanks to my good friend and weblog inspirer at The Great Life ..., I have received an advance copy and the opportunity to review a new book by Mark Batterson of National Community Church in Washington, D.C.
The book is "Wild Goose Chase", it goes on sale today. Here's the summary - I think it will grab your attention like it did mine!
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.” --from the introduction.
You can purchase the book at www.cbd.com and www.parable.com .
