Margaret Feinberg believes that the Bible isn’t a dusty, ancient book but a passageway to living encounters with a personal God. In Scouting the Divine: My Search for God in Wine, Wool, and Wild Honey, she traces her exploration of some of Scripture’s more nuanced stories.
A decade-long pilgrimage led to her encounters with a shepherd in Oregon, a farmer in Nebraska, a beekeeper in Colorado and a vintner in Napa Valley, Calif. In writing about them, Feinberg tells how she discovered amazing facts at each stop that shed light on biblical stories about sheep and shepherds, and harvesting and honey. Scouting the Divine is an eloquent travelogue of spiritual seeking that both entertains and instructs.
Feinberg is a captivating storyteller and a luminous Bible teacher. Her use of language and metaphor is masterful, and each carefully chosen word seems custom-crafted for her sentences. Embedded into these beautiful images, however, are great spiritual truths. Scouting the Divine strikes a balance between personal narrative and deep insights that beckons readers to stop reading the Bible and start living it.
If you want a book that will challenge you to engage God’s Word in a novel way, this one is definitely worth the read.
