Mark Batterson the author of this book and the pastor of National Community Church in Washington D.C. has become one of my favorite authors.  This is the third book I have read by him and each one has really stimulated my thinking and inspired me to take my spiritual life to the next level.

The Celtic Christians had a name foe the Holy Spirit which meant the wild  goose.  Mark points out that like a wild goose the Holy Spirit cannot be tamed or tracked.  An air of unpredicatability and an element of danger surround Him.  He warns us not to clip the wings of the wild goose and settle for something less- much less-than what God originally intended for us.

I have used the insight he shares with others to help them focus in on their real passion.  Mark suggests that to find your passion you must answer three questions: Whant makes you sad?  What makes you mad? and What makes you glad? I shared this with our new church at FOTP Grapevine and told them that what makes me sad is broken people living in a broken world.  What makes me sad, is people who claim to be Christians but do not care enough about broken people to give of their time, their talent or thier money to help hurting people.  What makes me glad is to see broken lives transformed.

This a great book! One of the best I have read in a while.
