The most relevant book I've ever read

I bought this book more than a year before I read it. It sat on my shelf gathering dust until I finally found the courage to actually read it. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I read it for two days straight, grabbing it every chance I could.^M

Witty, fun, real and relevant

We have a small group of women meeting once a week and reading this book. I love the way Liz starts each chapter by retelling the story of the woman the way it may look if it was happening today and gives us a new insight into that life. She then goes step by step through the Bible verses and does a study on them - showing insights and ways that it relates to us today. The questions at the end of the chapter are good as well and the whole diverse group of us is learning... There are different types of women in the Bible and each of us relates to at least one of them! I like the catagories: Bad to the bone, Bad for a season and Bad for a moment. Witty, fun, real and relevant to me today.

A must read!

Liz Curtis Higgs is a delightful speaker. I would know because she encouraged me through a wonderful lesson while speaking at my weekly college convocation. I know that God provides the words for her to use to encourage His children. This book shares stories from women of the Bible who needed God's grace; just like we do now! And the amazing thing is that He offers grace through His Son, Jesus Christ, for all of us. You will see yourself in one of these women and perhaps more. I know I did. No matter how bad we were or are; Jesus loves us and died for our sins. Reach out to Him and He will give you His saving grace. Enjoy reading and may you gain more than you ever thought possible.
