Praise for
Bad Girls of the Bible
"The entertainment value of the book is obvious, but the take-home extra is the Bible study that follows each chapter. Who but Liz Curtis Higgs could so creatively reveal G.o.d"s compa.s.sion, unconditional love, and mercy through such "Bad Girls" in scripture?"
-Carol Kent
speaker and author of Becoming a Woman of Excellence
"I loved it! A fresh perspective on those unique women. I loved the way Liz intersperses actual Bible text with her own writing."
