Mark Batterson’s Wild Goose Chase – Book Give Away!
Mark Batterson teaches me and challenges me daily with his blog.
He taught me and challenged me with his books, In A Pit With a Lion On a Snowy Day and ID: The True You.
His latest offering, Wild Goose Chase, is no different. I have been reading through an early copy of the book and I am already counting it as one of my favorites. Check back soon for a complete review of the book.
Here is a summary of the book from Mark…..
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.
If you are not yet familiar with Mark Batterson, here is a short bio…..
Mark Batterson is the lead pastor of Washington, DC’s National Community Church, widely recognized as one of America’s most innovative churches. NCC meets in movie theaters at metro stops throughout the city, as well as in a church-owned coffee house near Union Station. More than seventy percent of NCC’ers are single twentysomethings who live or work on Capitol Hill. Mark is the author of the best-selling In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and a widely read blogger (www.markbatterson.com). He lives on Capitol Hill with his wife, Lora, and their three children.
