About this listen
Embark on a global adventure to descend into a salt mine, knead bread, harvest olives, and pluck fresh figs. What you discover will forever change the way you read the Bible - and approach every meal. Also includes delicious recipes.
One of America's most beloved teachers and writers, Margaret Feinberg, goes on a remarkable journey to unearth God's perspective on food.
She writes that since the opening of creation, God, the master chef, seeds the world with pomegranates and passion fruit, beans and greens and tangerines. When the Israelites wander in the desert for 40 years, God, the pastry chef, delivers the sweet bread of heaven. After arriving in the Promised Land, God reveals himself as barbecue master, delighting in meat sacrifices. Like his foodie father, Jesus throws the disciples an unforgettable two-course farewell supper to be repeated until his return.
This groundbreaking audiobook provides a culinary exploration of Scripture. You'll descend 400 feet below ground into the frosty white caverns of a salt mine, fish on the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University, ferry to a remote island in Croatia to harvest olives, spend time with a Texas butcher known as "the meat apostle", and wander a California farm with one of the world's premier fig farmers.
With each visit, Margaret asks, "How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?" Their answers will forever change the way you read the Bible - and approach every meal.
Taste and See is a delicious listen that includes dozens of recipes for those who, like Margaret, believe some of life's richest moments are spent savoring a meal with those you love.
Perhaps God's foodie focus is meant to do more than satisfy our bellies. It's meant to heal our souls, as we learn to taste and see the goodness of God together. After all, food is God's love made edible.
See you around the table!

Most of us have times when, if we are honest, we’d admit to feeling like our lives are embarrassingly small and insignificant. Times when it seems like we’re going through a whole lot of pain and striving without much to show for it. Like our daily pursuits don’t really matter in the long run. At times like that, we can’t help wondering if we really matter - to the world or even to God. In Chasing Vines, Beth Moore gives us a new hope, revealing the abundant secrets of a fruitful, Kingdom-building, God-pleasing life.

There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. And looking back doesn't enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.

In Self to Lose, Self to Find, Marilyn Vancil unpacks our human dilemma, sets the scriptural foundation, explores the nine Enneagram personalities, and shows us practical ways to have a more meaningful life and healthier relationships. At its best, the Enneagram doesn't merely describe who we are, but shows us why we do what we do. It invites us to see the innate gifts and inclinations of our original design-the person we were before trials and traumas began to shape us. It also reveals the strategies and false narratives that keep us from becoming who we're truly meant to be.

The supernatural visitation described in this book happened in 1992. However, I felt that I could not speak of it openly until the time was right; and that time is now! In the years that followed, I had angelic encounters that are also recounted here. The time I spent in the presence of Jesus profoundly changed me! During this time, Jesus promised that the story of His visitation and the teaching He gave during my 45 minutes with Him has the capacity to radically change you too.

The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people. In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

I'd suggest this book to literally anyone. Margaret Feinberg has a singular gift for writing. She is both profound and conversational in a way thats easy to read but pushes one to think deeper. Taste and See was truly a blessing to listen to. I will be hard pressed to find a better gift for friends and family.

I purchased this book because I heard the author on a podcast. I was truly blessed by the contents of the story. Listening to the author’s food related journey has given me a fresh perspective on God’s Blessings through food. I was especially moved by her details of the Passover meal.

Great Perspectives
This book really digs into the meanings and important of different foods from biblical times and, just as with her other book "Scouting The Divine" relates it all to modern times. My favorite part is the story of Matza. She also includes recipes and talks about how to bring it all to the table for community and fellowship.

For those with a heart for hospitality
If you love food, gathering with people, and want to develop more of a heart for hospitality, I highly recommend this one! She took a deep dive into food references in the Bible, spending time with fishermen in Israel, a fig farmer, olive groves, salt mines, etc. and looking at the bigger context and meaning behind the verses that reference food.
Some favorite quotes (there were more, but I listened to a lot of this one while driving):
—“When we gather to eat, God wants to nourish more than our bodies. He wants to nourish our souls with transcendent joy and supernatural community and Divine presence. When we feed our physical appetites in community we open our hearts for God to feed something deeper as well.” —“Bread welcomes us into the community for which our souls were made.” —“Every table is a doorway, an entrance into a holy and sacred communion with God and those around us... recognize food as a gift from God instead of a commodity. Every mealtime is an opportunity to be on the lookout for Christ to reveal Himself in surprising ways.” —“May your table be set, not just with food but vulnerability and delight. May your mouth be filled not just with morsels of meat but reminders of God’s loving kindness. And may every meal at which you find yourself be a foretaste of the feast to come.”

Must Read (with a snack)!!
Provided you have a snack handy as recommended by the authoress herself, I would encourage anyone to read this book. The deep dives she did into the foods and their Jewish significance were incredible my understanding of the Gospel has grown significantly because of it. Her stories of her adventures along the way were fun. Lately, I have been learning about the significance of the connection between the spiritual and the physical and this book highlights that connection and its significance so perfectly. It is a truly wonderful book.
