I’m surprised by how much I’m liking Mark Batterson’s Wild Goose Chase right now (probably because of the unfortunate cover design). Here are my two favorite lines of the book so far:

“[The Holy Spirit] comforts the afflicted. But like a good counselor, He also afflicts the comfortable.”

“There are some things you don’t need to pray about. You don’t need to pray about whether you should love your neighbor. You don’t need to pray about whether you should give generously or serve sacrificially. You don’t need to pray about whether you should bless someone when it is within your power to do so. God has already spoken. What you need to do is quit praying and start acting.”
