Over the last month, we’ve been busy organizing a month-long, 100-stop blog tour to celebrate the launch of Scouting the Divine: My Search for God in Wine, Wool, & Wild Honey. Margaret Feinberg traveled to spend time with a shepherd in Portland, a farmer in Nebraska, a beekeeper in Colorado and vintner in California. With each person, Margaret asked how they read passages of scripture’not as theologians’but in light of what they did everyday. Their answers changed the way I read scripture forever.
We’re excited for everyone who is participating including Mark Batterson, Jon Acuff, Dan Kimball, Scot McKnight, Cathleen Falsani, God Hungry, Tri Robinson, Eric Bryant, Amena Brown, Zach Hunter, Skye Jethani, Jonathan Merritt, Leonard Sweet, Rick McKinley, Luke Williams, Travis Mamone, Keith Jones, Building Church Leaders, Out of Ur, Rethink Monthly, Murph’s Place, Micah Foster, Troy Dooly, Luke Williams, Soul Munchies, Bag of Nothing,Bible Dude, Janet Oberholtzer, Kristina Petrella, Sharon Swing, ReadHearSeeFeel, Felicity White, Sarah Turnage, Tara Owens, Mike Foster, Rick Ellis, Justin Gerhardt, Leah Holamon, Flourish Part 1, Flourish Part 2 Matt Bortmess, Crystal Loxner, Nick Hoss, Heather Proctor, Michael Harrison, Patrick Mitchell, Kristine Remixed, Jim Martin, Scott Hodge, Robert Hostetler, Marcia Graham, Holly Barrett, Rob Duford, and many, many more.
You’re invited to join in the fun! All you need to do is select a date this month to post a review, excerpt, interview, or colorful anecdote about Scouting the Divine: My Search for God in Wine, Wool, & Wild Honey! We can provide cover art, colorful photos of Margaret nuzzling sheep (who are covered with poo!) Yum. Yum
If you’re up for joining in:
1) Pick a date in November!
2) Pick up a copy of Scouting the Divine online or request it at your local retail store, if you didn’t already get a copy at Catalyst!
3) Comment on this post at www.margaretfeinberg.com and mention your blog/blog address so it can be featured on the new (yes new!) www.margaretfeinberg.com! If you want any artwork or colorful photos of Margaret nuzzling sheep (who are covered with poo!), include the request in the post!
Thanks for joining in the tour and reintroducing people to the wonder of God’s Word! Margaret’s hope and prayer is that through the process of reading Scouting the Divine, you’ll once again find yourself deeper in love with God and the Scriptures! The six-week DVD study will release January 1!

I would love to do this. How about November 13 for me!
I’d love to jump in! How about November 20 for the date? The Journeying to Joy blog is my church Women’s Ministry blog my Co-Director and I write. If it’s ok, I’d also like to cross post on my personal blog, Mommy’s on the Edge, at mommysontheedge.com. A mix of cover art and sheep pics would be fantastic.
Those dates look great! excited to to see the posts!
I’d love to participate! My blog is called Rare Rocks. I’ve reviewed Margaret’s books before. I’ll shoot for Monday, November 16th. Send me cover art, if you please! : )
Oops … didn’t know this was happening (did I miss earlier info or wasn’t it posted before?) and posted my review and giveaway a day early.
Great book!
Janet
I’d like to participate. Is November 17 available?
I hit “submit” too soon. My website is http://www.readhearseefeel.blogspot.com. Photos of sheep sound fun.
I’d love to post a review too. Send any pictures/cover art. I’ll take November 19th.
Thanks!
This book is one of the best books I have read in a while. I do not write that lightly, as I am married to an author myself, and find myself critiquing books more than reading them.
Margaret’s ability to make a book come alive is truly a gift from the Lord.
Thank you Margaret for caring more than most might think is wise. And Leif, thank you for sharing such a wonderful women with the rest of us.
Living An Epic Adventure,
Troy
This is a great idea!
I’m in! November 10?
My bog is http://onelifeletters.blogspot.com and website is http://www.oneLifemaps.com
Thanks for involving people in the adventure or recognizing and responding to God in new ways!

What about November 1? Otherwise just pick a date for me and let me know after October 31.
I really like your blog and i respect your work. I’ll be a frequent visitor.
Hi there! I am a field leader for MOPS international and first heard Margaret speak at the MOPS summit via simulcast last April. Since then I have become a huge fan of her work and would love to be a part of writing a review etc. of Scouting the Divine. I would like to take November 10th if it is not already taken. If it is already taken, please email me a separate date. I would love a picture of the cover of Scouting the Divine as well as a pic of Margaret with a poo-covered sheep! (After reading the book, what would a review be without a picture of the sheep?) Thanks again for this opportunity. Yea!!! -Kristina
I won a copy of Scouting the Divine from Catalyst on Twitter and am really looking forward to reading it. I’d love to participate in the blog tour on November 18th–I’m sure that between sheep, wine, and bees I’ll have learned something worth sharing. …Even if it is a picture of Margaret with poo.
I blog daily at http://justingerhardt.tumblr.com
Thanks!
This sounds great. I love the book idea. Can’t wait to pick it up.
I’d be happy to take November 15th.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Margaret! I am thoroughly enjoying your book… it is really bringing things to life. I’m already talking it up to my friends and I’m only 1/3 of the way in! I’m definitely going to write more about it when I’m finished. I’d be happy to be a stopping place on the blog tour if you still have room… Nov 24?
