I ourchased this book from Amazon to read with @kaylasonlyheart. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Really Bad Girls of The Bible More Lessons from Less Than Perfect Women. When we do these bible study reads we get together read about a chapter a day and use our own time to reflect. These two books by Liz Curtis Higgs (Bad Girls of The Bible and What We Can Learn From Them and Really Bad Girls of The Bible More Lessons from Less Than Perfect Women) show you the power and strength of and woman and the power and strength of a woman after faith intervened in her life. Oh how powerful women are. The author takes a biblical story ties it into a modern day story and a section to walk through all the steps of learning just how much of a valuable lesson we can take away from each woman separately. I loved the style in which this book was written. Sometimes while reading the bible you can almost displace yourself because it was so long ago, but with this book and putting a modern spin on a story makes you think wow! Even the problems of biblical times only disguise themselves in today's world.

Excellent - normally I would not go for a book that mixes genres ( in this case religion with fictional stories to support the Bible stories ), but Liz managed to write a book that held my attention from beginning to end.

As a 'woman with a past ' herself, much of the book did not fill me with extreme horror as some of it contained things I said, thought or did myself as a young woman. I separate 'bad behavior' due to brokenness, abuse, neglect and being unloved and unwanted as a child to pure evil and sociopathic behaviors and I believe in a Savior who also knows which is which.

I enjoyed this very much and have her other two in the series to read. A ( )

Eight stories of ladies from the Bible, but with a modern twist. Each lady has four sections- the modern story, the Biblical story it comes from and the scripture to support it, "What Lessons Can We Learn" or why is she bad not good and "Good Girl Thoughts Worth Considering" or questions and discussion to think and ponder.

Another winner ! LCH gently guides us to see how we can learn from the examples of so-called "bad" women in the BiBle ( )
