About this title: Higgs takes an inspired look at some notorious women of the Bible. Her humorous interpretations of the stories of Jezebel, Lot's wife, and Sapphira--to name a few--tell powerful moral tales because, according to Higgs, women identify more easily with these flawed women even while they aspire to the likes of Mary and Sarah.

"You might think, given the format of this book (short fictional stories of modern women followed by short character studies of BIble women) that it's a light read or a shallow Bible study with no more depth than the latest novel. But in reality, Liz Curtis Higgs, the author, has studied these Bible women extensively, and her study is evident in the lessons found in this book. The fictional stories add a dimension to the women in the Bible that we thought we knew. The Bible studies offer insights and useful information about the times and cultures in which the women lived. She also asks probing questions that allow you to apply the lessons learned to your own life."
"Wow, what a great book. I never knew these stories or these "bad girls" existed. It was a great way to get me into the Bible. I'm surprised at how the women of biblical times were treated. I loved how the author set up each chapter or bad girl with a modern day situation. Isn't it wonderful to know the grace of God? Would love to read Really Bad Girls of the Bible"
