I recently signed up to review Mark Batterson’s newest book, Wild Goose Chase…and I wasn’t disappointed.
If you’ve read his first book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day…this is definitely in the same vein.
In the first chapter, you get reeled in with the thought of chasing something that’s untameable and even adventurous. The Holy Spirit.
This book talks about the different things that cage us in…And he describes some of these cages as routines, assumptions, past failures, fears and guilt. All things we deal with on a daily basis, they’ve kept us responsibly irresponsible.
The biggest thing that stands out in this book is the call to become the opposite. To chase the dream of living an adventurous Christ-centered life by choosing to follow what may seem like a circumstantial uncertainty.
He asks several questions that I love: Are angels yawning? Do churches do to people what zoos do to animals? Is your ladder leaning on the wrong wall?
The book’s overall theme seems to be that we live inverted Christian lives. Where we invite the Holy Spirit to follow us…instead of following him.
You can get the book at Amazon and I highly recommend it.
