Book Review: Wild Goose Chase

I finished this book some time ago, but did not get around to reviewing it until now. The second book by Mark Batterson (Pastor at National Community Church), Wild Goose Chase is about following the Holy Spirit (An Geadh-Glas - “The Wild Goose” - in Celtic). Batterson describes life following the Wild Goose as unpredictable, adventurous, daring, and worth every second of it. In order to fully follow the Wild Goose, however, we need to break free from six cages that are holding us back: Responsibility, Routine, Assumptions, Guilt, Failure, and Fear. By releasing ourselves from these cages, we can be free to live “the spiritual adventure God destined us to” (p. 11). A great read for anyone who wants (or needs) to shake things up in order to follow the Wild Goose.
