Jumia Books Bad Girls Of The Bible By Liz Curtis Higgs Blue In Color

In Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn From Them, Liz Curtis Higgs examines the lives, situations, and personalities of ten Bad Girls from the Bible. She argues that many women may not connect as well with the Good Girls of the Bible, like Ruth, Mary, and Esther, because earthly women are sinful and mess up from time to time. The Bad Girls of the Bible give women who have their own pasts to deal with examples of what to do or not to do in their own lives. Higgs argues that while women can learn from the Good Girls, they can also learn from the Bad Girls of the Bible as well.

In this book, Higgs chooses ten Bad Girls to focus on. Some of these women play prominent roles in the Bible, while others are barely mentioned. Yet, Higgs argues that they each have something to teach the modern woman about what not to do, as well as how to live a better life in Christ. Higgs includes the following Bad Girls: Eve, Potiphar's wife, Lot's wife, the woman at the well, Delilah, Sapphira, Rahab, Jezebel, Michal, and the sinful woman. She identifies each of them as being bad to the bone, bad for a season, or bad for a moment.
