Good Friend

It's been a week since my ladies' group and I completed our study of the Organic God. I'm still reminiscing over what I like best, and frankly, its been hard to choose. There are so many facets of God that Margaret discusses, and she's some how made my relationship with Him simpler, clearer, and truly more Organic. Her book, and study, are not the traditional workbook with five days of homework. Rather, she's organized our walk together more like sitting down as dear friends, while sharing together what our own walks with God are like. As the Proverb goes, iron sharpens iron, I have been sharpened by her keen insight, humor and wit. I've found that as I have enjoyed the pages of this book that I've come closer to making a sweet friend whom I adore greatly, one that I'll turn to again and again for wise counsel as I continue to seek God's face. Margaret, thanks for such a sweet book. Thanks for bringing me closer to the God I love! I'll be back often. ;-)

See God With New Eyes

I purchased several books, Leader's Guide and Study Books of The Organic God, by Margaret Feinberg, for a Women's Study at my church. Not only was it received expectantly, but every woman in the study looks forward to each new week. We have almost completed the six-week study and now I must look for another study that is most comparable. All of us have grown in our view of God without the pollution of worldly additives. I highly recommend this book.

Great Metaphors!

Through her personal stories and metaphors for life, Feinberg creates a wonderful set of chapters to meditate on and push you to grow in your relationship with God. It has several fun features too--an offer to correspond over email about what you love about Jesus, a song list, reading ideas, and quirky footnotes. I read this book in two days it was so great and engaging. Now I need to go back and read it again! As a single woman--this book really helped me put God back in the husband spot in my heart. Thank you!

Rich Exploration of God's Character

In her book's opening line, Alaskan author Feinberg writes, "The northern lights danced with all the mystery and marvel of midnight rainbows in the sky." This warm invitation beckons readers to enjoy the natural beauty of her home state as a reflection of the "breathtakingly beautiful" attributes of God. The daughter of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother, both born-again believers, Feinberg challenges readers to dig deeply into Scripture using a technique called midrash, a Hebrew word meaning to "search out." She writes, "...Jewish midrash urges us to take hold of a passage, wrestle with it, and not let go until we're worn out and forcibly must cry uncle." As she explores nine attributes of God's character, her Scriptural knowledge and depth of insight make this book one to be savored like a rich cup of coffee. The author's quirky stories of her childhood and struggles as an unsettled 20-something are good springboards for the discussion questions included, making this a useful tool for both individual and group study. --Christian Women Online Book Buzz

The Joy of Finding God

Oh my goodness what a fabulous book that was. It's not a deeply theological book, it doesn't get into controversial issues, it simply describes the joy of loving God. The author, Margaret Feinberg, doesn't delve into religious issues that can separate Christians today. Instead, she challenges us to strip away our pre-conceived notions of who God is and what the world tells us abot God. Who does God say He is? The answer is in the bible - pages and pages and pages of God's Word, unpolluted. Untarnished. Organic. Margaret's joy in exploring God is contagious. God is ever so righteous and holy and pure that it's incedible that he would desire a relationship with us, fallen, sinful people. But He does! And God extends his beckoning in a myriad a way. Margaret doesn't try to tell us who God is - I suppose she'd risk herself becoming part of the pollution - but she tells us where to look and the joy in finding him. I read this book in a single sitting and then read through the thought-provoking questions in the back. Why so quickly? My wife noticed the excitement at such a wonderful, joyful book and wanted to read it when I was done. When I was done, she claimed the book, but I told her when she was done, I wanted to read it again. :) I am freshly challenged and encouraged to seek God anew. Who is God? What does He want from me? What does He want for me? I have the answers - an indwelling holy Spirit and His Word to study and absorb. I have creation around me that God created to express His beauty. And I have a fresh perspective on finding all God would have me know about Him. In case you can't tell, I heartily recommend this book. Michael [...]
