About this ebook
Most of us have no idea where we’re going most of the time. Perfect.
“Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit–An Geadh-Glas, or ‘the Wild Goose.’ The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. 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

I bought this book expected a well thought out expression of the Celtic model for use in today's church. As a Celtic Minister, I found this book just to be a re-branding of modern Churchanity. When I checked with my colleagues in Ireland we could not find the reference of the wild goose. In fact the Crane was the symbol for the Holy Spirit in Art and Literature. Buyer beware.
