Only once have I received a prayer request for a friend because she was traveling alone in Israel to master traditional fishing methods and in Croatia to hand-harvest olives. But these escapades typify Margaret Feinbergs research into biblical foodfrom fish to figs and bread to barbecueall to nourish us with special spiritual fodder as well as memorable meals. Deliciously written!

Like an expert chef reaching for only the finest ingredients, Margaret Feinberg seasons her prose with generous dashes of wit and wisdom, whetting our appetites for the bounty of knowledge and inspiration she dishes out, chapter after delicious chapter. Oh, the people she meets and the meals she eats and the places she goes. Inviting us to travel with her from California to Croatia, Texas to Connecticut, Utah to Israel, Margaret reveals how our healthy dependence on food parallels our deeper dependence on the One who provides what our hearts need most. Her writing style is warm, and her message compelling, as she encourages us to taste and see the goodness and richness of God. What a feast!
