Just heard from my publisher, Multnomah Waterbrook, that there have been 332 blog reviews for Wild Goose Chase to date. Just wanted to say a huge thanks to all the bloggers who did one. So grateful. Feel like you're a shareholder in the way God uses the book.
I'm starting to get emails from readers and divine appointments are happening. My overriding prayer is: Lord, put the book into the right hands at the right time. He's answering those prayers. Thanks!

Well, from one out of the 332, I want to say thank you to you for giving me the opportunity to do the blog review. It was amazing and is getting even better the second time around.
Gotta say...as one of those who participated in the blog tour, the timing and content couldn't have been better! Point after point and story after story I found myself both challenged and encouraged. Completely applicable to my current situation. Thanks for living it, hearing it and writing it!
Hey, this is slightly off-topic, but I just got the first wild-goose-chase e-votional sermon. I don't know if people pay attention to the adds on the side of the screen, but Google (gmail) uses the content of the email to "choose" adds to put next to your inbox. My current ads include
an ad for: "Natural Goose Repellent"
It made me think about the natural (and un-natural) "goose" repellents in my life. What things do I do or not do, that discourage me from chasing the goose. God can use Google, too.
I don't know if my blog counts in your 332, but I like Kurt's comment about how God uses Google, it's incredible to think of everything God uses!
I reccommended your book today to a group of powerful men that meet weekly in Tallahassee, FL for bible study.
I also heard the radio ad on WayFM! I'm excited and praying with you...
Kurt,
Too funny. Natural goose repellant :)

Reading Wild Goose Chase. Awesome book
man, I loved doing the blog book review - it was a cool opportunity! I especially loved being given the opportunity to bless one of my readers with a copy of your book!
thanks for doing this!
Just got a free copy of the book in my mailbox! Can't wait to dig in!
Mark,
I picked up Wild Goose Chase last Friday at the local Lifeway store. I took it with me to church Sunday morning, and started reading it after getting our daughters in the van, while waiting for my wife to finish her conversation and get in to go eat.
We went to a new Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal, I cracked open my fortune cookie. It said: "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." The Helen Keller quote you used to start chapter 1.
Same quote twice in under 3 hours. Maybe the Wild Goose is trying to tell me something.
Love it Brian. that's too funny :)
I had my divine appointment with it - and it is making a huge difference. Thanks again for being used by God to write such a great book!
Mark, just wanted to say that "In A Pit with a Lion" is an example of a book being in the right hands at the right time! I was sent a copy of Wild Goose Chase the other day as a thank you gift from a woman for my recommending NCC to her (your church made a gigantic impact on her life!). I am so excited, and I know that it will be another right hand, right time experience. Thank you for your faithfulness to the work God has prepared beforehand for you to do.
you're welcome. love getting great books to my blog readers.
Hi Mr. Batterson,
I just started reviewing your book by answering all the questions in each chapter, one chapter per day. Here's my answers to your questions from the first chapter. http://www.kimplicity.com/fkim/blog/2009/06/03/wild-goose-chase-yawning-angels/
Thanks so much for writing this book,
Frank
