Scouting the Divine by Margaret Feinberg

Scouting the Divine by Margaret Feinberg

Beloved Bible teacher Margaret Feinberg invites you on a remarkable spiritual adventure to live more courageous and free.

The Bible is full of clever plots and compelling stories, laced with historic insights and literary beauty. But despite its richness and depth, many of us struggle to close the gap between the ancient world and our own. What does it mean to know that Jesus is the Good Shepherd when the only place you've encountered sheep is at a petting zoo? How can you understand the promise of a land overflowing with honey when you buy yours in a bear-shaped bottle? Can you grasp the urgency of Jesus' invitation to abide in the vine when you shop for grapes at a local grocery store?

Margaret invites you to accompany her on the adventure of a lifetime - across the nation to herd sheep in Oregon, harvest fields with a Nebraska farmer, prune vines in California, and explore hives with a veteran beekeeper in Colorado. Along the way, you'll explore how ancient livelihoods illuminate meaningful truths that apply to life today.

I asked one question to each person, 'How do you read the Scriptures in light of what you do every day?' she writes. Their answers changed the way I read the Bible forever.

With her trademark humor and vulnerability, you'll learn the secret of how to live like you have a shepherd, unlock the sweetest promises of God, and discover the gift of divine timing. You'll move from simply reading Scripture to entering stories that can be touched and tasted, smelled and savored. Scouting the Divine will revolutionize the way you understand the Bible - and leave you wonderstruck by the magnificence of God.

A self-described hot mess, Margaret Feinberg is a respected Bible teacher and speaker at churches and popular conferences such as Catalyst, Thrive, and Women of Joy. Her books and Bible studies, including The Organic God, The Sacred Echo, Scouting the Divine, and Wonderstruck have sold nearly one million copies, have received critical acclaim, and garnered extensive national media coverage from outlets such as CNN, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post.

Margaret was named one of 50 Women to Watch: Those Most Shaping the Church and Culture by Christianity Today, one of 30 Emerging Voices by Charisma Magazine, and one of the 40 Under 40 who will shape Christian publishing by Christian Retailing. Margaret lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Hershey.
