Really Bad Girls of the Bible: More Lessons from Less-Than-Perfect-Woman

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 humor writer Liz Curtis Higgs and by God’s grace choose a better path. In Bad Girls of the Bible Higgs offers a unique and clear-sighted approach to understanding those “other women” in Scripture combining a contemporary retelling of their stories with a solid verse-by-verse study of their mistakes and what lessons women today can learn from them.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 Liz Curtis Higgs teaches us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace.
