God's Sovereignty
from the Bible's Really Bad Girls. Eight of the Bible's most notorious females strut across the pages of Really Bad Girls of the Bible with troubles that still hit home in the twenty-first century. The Medium of En Dor crossed over to the dark side. Jael stood up to a ruthless enemy. The Adulteress was caught between a rock and a hard place. Athaliah made a bid for power that ended badly. Bathsheba captured the wandering eye of a king. Herodias made a cruel request of her husband. Tamar exchanged her widow's weeds for a harlot's garb. And the Bleeding Woman had a serious health issue only a great physician could handle.
"Higgs does such a remarkable job telling their stories that many of the Good Book's 'bad girls' become downright sympathetic.... Higgs is a refreshingly astute biblical commentator...(and) ably points readers to 'good girl' tips they can apply from the Bible's cautionary tales."
--Publishers Weekly
Really Bad Girls of the Bible shines a spotlight on God's sovereignty, demonstrating one life-changing truth: God rules the lives of those He loves with mercy, compassion, and hope. Includes Discussion Questions and a Study Guide
A Novel Approach to Bible Study
Editorial Reviews
--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
