Wild Goose Chase
I just started the next book in my reading plan--Wild Goose Chase by my friend Mark Batterson. So far, it is phenomenal. I recommend it. It's about the pursuit of God and his purpose for our life. Wild goose is a term Celtic Christians used for the Holy Spirit. He has a thesis that most Christians are bored because we ask God to bless what we are doing, instead of going on the chase to see where he wants to lead our lives! Pretty inspiring.

Sounds like a book that encourages to "get out of the boat!"
Pastor, Dave and I are reading this book together (aloud) right now. Batterson has more "refrigerator-door-worthy" quotes than any author I've read in quite awhile (except the B.I.B.L.E., of course). One of our favorite quotes so far: We start dying when we have nothing worth living for. And we don't really start living until we find something worth dying for.
Good stuff!

Just took the plunge and ordered Wild Goose Chase by Batterson from Amazon.com. and a second book he authored that looks quite great too. Look forward to their arrival and reading in between Organizational Development and Organizational Behavior classes!
