At this stage in my life I’ve made it a point to spend more time in Bible study. That leaves less time for fiction so I was pleased to find a book that combined both in Liz Curtis Higg’s, Bad Girls of the Bible. The book takes a close look at ten sinful women from Eve to Jezebel, analyzing their fall and in some cases, restoration. Each passage starts with a modern, fictionalized account which puts the woman’s life in a more relatable context. I found the format engaging and instructive. The study guide was not your usual mundane questions, but topics which caused me to wrestle with my own choices. Maybe the best recommendation for the book that I could give is that I found my teen daughter perusing it with great interest each evening. A book that blends humor, fiction, biblical study with the power to draw in adults AND
teens? That gets a two thumbs up from this reader.
