A Great Advent Read

Do sheep really know their shepherd's voice? How often does a grapevine need to be pruned? What does it mean for a land to be described as overflowing with honey?

Critically acclaimed author Margaret Feinberg invites readers on a spiritual (and real life) adventure for deeper insight about how scripture applies to life today.

In her quest to better understand what God wants to communicate through the Bible, Feinberg explores the symbols and metaphors within the stories. To discover these deeper meanings, she spent time with a shepherdess in Oregon, walked the fields with a farmer in Nebraska, explored a vineyard of California, and talked with a veteran beekeeper in Colorado. Along the way, this modern woman discovered surprising answers to puzzling ancient questions.
