Chasing Wild Geese

"You'll never finish what you do not start. And that is where so many of us get stuck. We fail to take the first step, so the wild goose chase never begins. Instead of seeking our adventure, we settle for the routine. Instead of playing offense with our lives, we play defense. And instead of living by faith, we let our fears dictate our decisions." (p.164 Wild Goose Chase)

Does that sound like how you wanna be remembered? Me either.

Today a new book by Mark Batterson (one of my favorite bloggers) came out. It's appropriately named Wild Goose Chase . . . and the editor gave me the privilege of doing this blog review (and a FREE advance copy!)

The title comes from the Celtic Christian's name for the Holy Spirit - An Geadh-Glas - "the wild goose." And from there the chase is on!

The book is pedal to the metal - just like Mark's passion for followers of Jesus finding their adventure in Christ. Throughout I was continually reminded about how the life of chasing the Wild Goose is dangerous, scary, challenging, unpredictable and world changing!

Mark talks about the six 'cages' that keep us tame and how we break out.
I'm always amazed at his ability to condense life truth into bite size chunks, like: 'Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.' And, 'Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.'

I challenge you to get it and read it - the chase is on!

As an additional bonus to somebody who actually reads these blogs to the bottom I've got an extra book to give away - they gave me two copies!
You gotta agree to read it in the next 2 weeks and then review it on your blog or send the review to me to put on my blog.
First one who 'comment's' on my blog (emails don't count) wins!
