Yesterday I was pumped when I opened the LATR P.O. Box to find my brand spanking new copy of Mark Batterson's book "Wild Goose Chase". I am going to read that puppy right away and will let you know what I think. You should stop by the Wild Goose Chase site and look around. Mark has a great tool there called :10 Steps for Setting Life Goals" which I personally found very helpful and thought provoking.
For now here is some stuff to wet your whistle...
Summary:
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.
