Overview
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.

Really Bad Girls of the Bible Workbook
very traditional christian! boring and sad, sad because of it fundamentalism. | | |  | An amazing, one of a kind book! Aug 4, 2008 |
| Although not a perfect book, this was one of the best Bible-based books I've read! Bad Girls of the Bible takes a look at ten amazing women who inspire me and encourage. At the beginning of each chapter Liz starts with a short story of each woman if she were in present-day, making it easier to relate with each woman... Liz also separates each verse in the story and shows what may really be inside each woman's heart. I couldn't put this book down! It reminded me of what small things can make us sin.. and what can bring us back to God. Entertaining, amazing, inspiring book! I encourage it for all readers! | | |  | Bad Girls From the Bible and What We Can Learn From Them Apr 5, 2008 |
This book tells a real world story similar to the story of each of the "Bad Girls" of the Bible, then tells the actual biblical story for each. This is followed by though-provoking questions for modern-day women to think about how we can apply this to our lives.
For women who wish to stay in a walk with God, and sometimes feel weak in today's world, this book shows that we are not abnormal, but can learn from mistakes that women made in the Bible. | | | | Bad Girls of the Bible Feb 14, 2008 |
| I would recommend that all Godly women read this book. It will touch your life in some way. I'm sure there will be many women delivered from this book. | | |  | Great concept--could be improved by better writing Feb 8, 2008 |
| I actually liked this book better than I liked Slightly Bad Girls...I feel as if the Biblical characters were easier to identify with than the ones in SBD. Unfortunately, I still do not enjoy Ms. Higgs writing style--I feel as if she over simplifies too many things and the whole "girlfriend talk" just isn't my cup of tea anyway. That said, I would recommend this book to someone looking for a light devotional read. | | | Write your own review about Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn from Them
