Biblical women’s stories as lessons for everyday choices

Liz Curtis Higgs examines ten women from the Bible, including Eve, Delilah, Jezebel, and Bathsheba, grouping them by the kinds of mistakes their stories represent: enduring wrongdoing, a season of it, or a single moment. The book pairs contemporary retellings with verse-by-verse study, connecting these biblical accounts to themes of temptation, personal desires, daily pressures, and grace. Discussion questions and a study guide extend the material for reflection or group use. Its structure makes the women’s stories the framework for considering choices and the possibility of choosing a different path.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Women interested in Bible study focused on female figures in Scripture.
  • Readers who want contemporary retellings alongside verse-by-verse study.
  • Study groups seeking discussion questions and a guide.

Book overview

Ten of the Bible's best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar.

Women everywhere marvel at those "good girls" in Scripture-Sarah, Mary, Esther-but on most days, that's not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they're honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch of glimpse of Jezebel's take-charge pride or Eve's disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today's modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires.

So what's a good girl to do? Learn from their lives, says beloved Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs, and choose a better path. Whether they were "Bad to the Bone," "Bad for a Season, but Not Forever" or only "Bad for a Moment," these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life.
With her trademark humor and encouragement, Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these "other women" in Scripture with a solid, verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace.
Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun!
