I must confess I had already read Liz Curtis Higgs book Bad Girls of the Bible
once, when I was younger and still a (mostly) good girl. Even then, when I read it, I loved it. Higgs has an unusual format of writing: first, a contemporary re-write of a biblical story, then an almost verse-by-verse dissection and teaching, followed by a summary of lessons to be learned, and ended with discussion questions.
once, when I was younger and still a (mostly) good girl. Even then, when I read it, I loved it. Higgs has an unusual format of writing: first, a contemporary re-write of a biblical story, then an almost verse-by-verse dissection and teaching, followed by a summary of lessons to be learned, and ended with discussion questions. Now as a mother, wife, and former “bad girl” I find wisdom and comfort in Higgs’ teaching. When I reach the point of feeling like I am going to pull my own hair out if I have to be compared to that hypothetical, ultimate good-girl, the Proverbs 31 Woman, one more time, I reach for Liz Curtis Higgs for good, down to earth teaching, with a little bad girl flair.
Her conversational tone makes this an easy read and her rock-solid teaching makes it well worth the time. Please check out Bad Girls from the Bible.
. I received this book from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. It didn't have to be positive, but this just happens to be a phenomenal book.
