Wild Goose Chase

Just finished reading a copy of Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson. By following his blog I have been watching the writing process move forward. Earlier this year he mentioned the pressure of producing the "sophomore project." What if your second book is not as good as the first!

Hey Mark, the second book is great! Wild Goose Chase follows in the same attitude of, In a Pit With a Lion On a Snowy Day, his previous book. It is inspiring Christians to follow the Holy Spirit's leading especially when it is risky. Mark is a great life coach, and it comes through in his writing.

Here is why I like the sophomore project even better! I really like the outline of Wild Goose Chase. I like how the book follows, "six Wild Goose chasers who come right out of the pages of Scripture" (p. 11). Each investigation into these Bible characters highlights a "cage" that keeps us from following the Holy Spirit.

If you read this book get ready for something big to happen. You never know where the Holy Spirit will take you, if you have the guts to follow!
