Outline Review
Jezebel and Delilah have plenty to teach contemporary Christian women, according to Bad Girls of the Bible and What We Can Learn from Them. In this self-help book, Liz Curtis Higgs tells fictionalized, contemporary stories based on the lives of biblical characters including Eve, Potiphar's Wife, and the Woman at the Well. In verse-by-verse commentary, Higgs summarizes each life's lessons and provides a list of questions for personal consideration or group discussion. The overall message of each chapter is the same: "Good Girls and Bad Girls both need a Savior. The goodness of your present life can't open the doors of heaven for you. The badness of your past life can't keep you out either." In its effort to turn readers' minds heavenward, Bad Girls draws a distinction between fun and joy. Associated with "fleshly pleasures," fun "is temporary at best; it's risky, even dangerous, at worst." Joy, on the other hand, is found in God's "gift of grace." Perhaps the book's greatest weakness is its inability to see that "fun," in many lives, is a holy and necessary means of attaining "joy." --Michael Joseph Gross

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
