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 974661 19 8 2008 Wild Goose Chase total:81|5:34|4:29|3:16|2:2|1:0| 81 338 151 25 0 1 false false Mon Sep 08 21:36:24 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 21:39:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 30 22:16:09 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 24 15:21:30 -0800 2009 My full review is here:
