Bad Girls of the Bible By Liz Curtis Higgs - Read the first two chapters. This book combines a contemporary fictional retelling of women in scripture including Delilah, Jezebel, Rehab, Lot's wife and more! Whether they were Bad to the Bone, Bad for a Moment, or Bad for a Season, but Not Forever. These infamous sisters show us how not to handle the challenges of life. With trademark humor and heartfelt encouragement, Liz Curtis Higgs teaches us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace God's grace. The book can be found at any local book store. A study guide for the chapters will be available in the church office beginning March 30th.
