Well, Wild Goose Chase has been out for one week. Still feels surreal but it's fun getting emails from people who are seeing it in bookstores. Even my little girl, Summer, was visiting grandpa and grandma Batterson in Florida and the book was front-and-center at their church bookstore. Pretty cool. It's now out of my hands and in God's hands.
I'm getting this question quite a bit: who is the book written for? So I thought I'd take a stab at it. Honestly, I think every author writes with a subconscious audience in mind. But you never know who it will resonate with. That's where the sovereignty of God comes into play!
I think it's a great read for anyone who is bored with their faith or lost the spiritual sense of adventure. In that sense, it is written for a general audience. But here are the people I think it will really resonate with. Because I pastor twenty-somethings, I think I naturally write for twenty-somethings as well. It'll be a great read for anyone navigating the quarterlife crisis. I also think it'll help college freshman and seniors who are entering new life stages. Of course, sophomores and Juniors can read it too.
I think it's a great read for people who going through life transitions.
And, finally, I'm hoping it'll resonate with readers who are spiritual seekers or new believers. I think it frames a relationship with God in a fresh way.
Chase the Goose!

Congratulations Mark!! It looks like a great book. I still need to read your first one.
Mark - just want to say, the big is fabulous. My wife and I are both reading it and are inspired to get out of the cage and take some stinkin' risks!!!
I am digesting the book and would love to dialog with you through email. It came at a perfect time in my journey and has been very helpful.

Hey Mark, just downloaded your "10 Steps to Setting Life Goals" and I love it! (the book is still being shipped). I gotta say though - you should shoot for a MARATHON! I once weighed about 300 pounds and am gearing up for my 4th marathon this Fall! You could TOTALLY do it!

He doesn't know it, but Jesse Watson up there is responsible for me encountering the book. Thanks! This is the kind of book that needs to be read and reread. It wasn't quite as easy tracking down In a Pit...but well worth it.
