Wild Goose Chase is for Christ followers, especially postmoderns in the 20-40 age range, who are tired of a formulaic, rules-driven approach to God's will. Following on the heels of Batterson's much talked about first release, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, this sequel rekindles a sense of adventure. It challenges readers to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. And it helps readers make decisions, face challenges, and chase dreams with a renewed sense of destiny.

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
