Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn from Them

Ten of the Bible’s best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar. Women everywhere marvel at those “good girls” in Scripture–Sarah Mary Esther–but on most days that’s not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they’re honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch of glimpse of Jezebel’s take-charge pride or Eve’s disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba Herodias and the rest today’s modern woman is surrounded by temptations exhausted by the demands of daily living and burdened by her own desires.           So what’s a good girl to do? Learn from their lives says beloved Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs and choose a better path. Whether they were “Bad to the Bone” “Bad for a Season but Not Forever” or only “Bad for a Moment” these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life. With her trademark humor and encouragement Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these “other women” in Scripture with a solid verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace. Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun! Includes Discussion Questions and Study Guide
