So, I had the privilege again to review another new book that is being released. I had a little bit of a time crunch on this one to get it read/reviewed on time because it comes out tomorrow!
Anyways, the book I read is Mark Batterson’s new book called Wild Goose Chase. This is a great book. I read it in about four to five sittings. It’s an easy read, but has a lot of depth to go back to and dig and find.
Without giving to much away, Batterson discusses the idea of the Holy Spirit being like a Wild Goose. He sets this up in the first chapter. The following chapters are different “spiritual cages” we get trapped in while we are/should be chasing after the Wild Goose.
These different hold ups he writes about share a lot of insight into the very things we struggle with. For example, the idea of being held back on our chase because of assumptions. When we start assuming what God can and cannot do, we are going to get stuck. This is a very shallow view of what he says about assumptions, but he really unpacks how it effects us and our view of God and the Holy Spirit.
Overall the book is very encouraging and inspiring, and at the same time has some very practical questions at the end of each section to help you unpack how the issue may be effecting you in your life. The book would be great for a group study or even for someone who is looking to for ways to help spiritual growth areas in their life. To find more resources and info about the book, you can visit the book site here.
You can find the book at amazon.com tomorrow when it is released.
I really recommend you checking this book out, I feel like it is a good catalyst for bringing back the adventure of following God. And if you want someone to discuss it with, feel free to send me a message!
peace,
