Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn from Them

Ten of the Bible€s best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar.

Women everywhere marvel at those €œgood 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 Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs, and choose a better path. Whether they were €œBad to the Bone,€ €œBad for a Season, but Not Forever€ or only €œBad for a Moment,€ these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life.
With her trademark humor and encouragement, Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these €œother women€ in Scripture with a solid, verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace.
Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun!
