Book Review: Bad Girls of the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs

Bad Girls of the Bible (And What We Can Learn from Them) by Liz Curtis Higgs is an eye opening look through the Bible for women. It can be read as an individual study, or the questions at the end of each chapter lend themselves to group discussion. There is also an extensive section at the end of the book which shows scripture references for each of the women the book looks at. While these women may have been labled as "Bad Girls" from our reading of the Bible, with the closer look that this book provides, I found myself identifying with these bad girls at some point in my life. The good news is that no matter the past, forgiveness can be found in Christ!

This book is written well, and will draw you in. It will help you to look within your heart and find areas that are not pleasing to God, and work to change those. While it was great read alone, I can only imagine the benefit from working through this convicting and encouraging book with a group of women who love God and desire to please Him above all!

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
