Margaret Feinberg: Taste and See

Taste and See
(Zondervan, 2019)

WHO: Margaret Feinberg, Bible teacher, speaker and author.

THE BOOK: Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers, and Fresh Food Makers (Zondervan, 2019)

SHE SAYS: “I decided to take to the invitation to ‘taste and see that the Lord is good’ literally. I embarked on a wild adventure to descend 410 feet into a salt mine, fish on the sea of Galilee, bake matza with an expert on ancient grains, harvest olives in Croatia and graduate from ‘Steakology 101’ with a Texas butcher.”

THE BIG IDEA: God’s focus on food in the Bible is meant to heal our souls and draw us closer to Christ.

WHY CHURCH LEADERS SHOULD READ IT: If you look for food in the Bible, you’ll discover it pops and sizzles on every page. By understanding the planting, procurement and processing of specific foods on a granular level, your sermons and teachings will come alive with new insights and depth.

WHY CONGREGANTS SHOULD READ IT: This culinary spiritual adventure is designed to help readers experience deeper connections around the table, discover the life-giving power of the simplest ingredients and experience the satisfying and fruitful life they’re created for.

QUOTABLE: “As humans, we hunger for so many things that extend beyond physical appetite. I began to suspect that food was created not just to satiate our bellies as we gather around the table, but create a place where God could meet us and fill our hearts.”

When We Enter the Present Heaven, Will We Have Physical Forms as We Await Resurrection?

If we will indeed have an intermediate physical form immediately after we die, it’s critical we realize this would in no way make our eventual resurrection unnecessary or redundant.
