For some reason I’ve read more books in the last year than I’ve read in my lifetime. I wanted to share some quick thoughts on a book I recently finished. “Wild Goose Chase: Reclaim the Adventure of Pursuing God” written by Mark Batterson, who is the paster at National Community Church in Washington, D.C.

This is another phenomenal book in the line books I’ve recently finished. In the book, Mark addresses six “cages” or circumstances that keep us from the Wild Goose and the life He has for us. Mark really challenges us to step out or break free from whatever “cage” that is keeping us from the spiritual adventure God has destined for us. Whether it is responsibility, routine, assumptions, guilt, failure, or fear, I believe all of us can identify with one, if not all, of the circumstances that are holding us back from passionately pursuing God.

So stop being a spectator. Go buy the book and read it! I promise when you are finished you will be challenged to: stop “maintaing the status quo”, and start living today “like it is the first and the last day of your life.”
