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

by Liz Curtis Higgs Narrated by Liz Curtis Higgs

Overview

When it Comes to Badness, There's Nothing New Under the SunIn her best-selling book Bad Girls of the Bible, Liz Curtis Higgs breathed new life into ancient stories depicting eight of the most infamous women in scriptural history, from Jezebel to Delilah. Biblically sound and cutting-edge fresh, Bad Girls already has helped thousands of women experience God's grace anew by learning more about our nefarious sisters.And there are more where they came from! With Really Bad Girls of the Bible, Liz reveals the power of God's sovereignty in the lives of other shady ladies we know by reputation but have rarely studied in depth: Bathsheba, the bathing beauty. Jael, the tent-peg-toting warrior princess. Herodias, the horrible beheader. Tamar, the widow and not-so-timid temptress. Athaliah, the deadly daughter of Jezebel. And three ancient women whose names we do not know but who have much to teach us: the ashamed Adulteress, the bewitching Medium of En Dor, and the desperate Bleeding Woman. The eye-opening stories of these eight "Really Bad" women demonstrate one really life-changing concept: the sovereign power of God to rule our hearts and our lives with grace, compassion, and hope.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for the Bad Girls of the Bible series

“Liz Curtis Higgs’s unique use of fiction combined with Scripture and modern application helped me see myself, my past, and my future in a whole new light. A stunning, awesome book.”
—ROBIN LEE HATCHER author of Whispers from Yesterday

“In her creative, fun-loving way, Liz retells the stories of the Bible. She delivers a knock-out punch of conviction as she clearly illustrates the lessons of Scripture.”
—LORNA DUECK former co-host of 100 Huntley Street

“The opening was a page-turner. I know that women are going to read this and look at these women of the Bible with fresh eyes.”
—DEE BRESTIN author of The Friendships of Women

“This book is a ‘good read’ directed straight at the ‘bad girl’ in all of us.”
—ELISAMORGAN president emerita, MOPS International

“With a skillful pen and engaging candor Liz paints pictures of modern situations, then uniquely parallels them with the Bible’s ‘bad girls.’ She doesn’t condemn, but rather encourages and equips her readers to become godly women, regardless of the past.”
—MARY HUNT author of Mary Hunt’s Debt-Proof Living 

“Bad Girls is more than an entertaining romp through fascinating characters. It is a bona fide Bible study in which women (and men!) will see themselves revealed and restored through the matchless and amazing grace of God.”
—ANGELA ELWELL HUNT author of The Immortal

“Liz had me from the first paragraph. I was continually amazed how skillfully she dressed the biblical characters in contemporary garments. She made the old stories live again. An exciting work.”
—KALI SCHNIEDERS author of Truffles from Heaven

“Liz has brought a blended format of fiction, biblical commentary, and thought-provoking questions to each of these characters. I love the way Liz slips ‘modern-day flesh’ on biblical truth.”
—DARLENE HEPLER Church of the Open Door, Elyria, Ohio

“With great insight into the challenges faced by ten women who have gone before us, Liz analyzes the driving forces in women’s lives that can cause them to make bad decisions. Invite a group of friends to join you in discussing the issues presented in this book—your lives may be changed forever!”
—VICKY WAUTERLEK The Village Church of Barrington, Illinois

“I loved the down-to-earth realism. Instead of having an airbrushed, plastic feel, Bad Girls of the Bible jumps off the pages with fresh, relevant, and engaging applications.”
—BECKY MOLTUMYR director of women’s ministries, Brookside Church, Omaha, Nebraska
