What do people think of the series Bad Girls of the Bible and what we learn form them?

Question

Liz Curtis Higgs wrote several books on descriptions of some of the not so nice ladies from the Bible like Delilah. I was wondering if anyone read it and liked it.

Answer 1

I will confess up front that I have not read it...nor does it interest me. We could learn how not to conduct ourselves, both as men and women. If you really want to do some great reading, try looking up the Good Girls of the Bible. Now there were some really powerful women that could put any man to shame. I am a man, but I really do admire them. No offense is intended by this statement, but, not only were they filled with the Holy Spirit, but they were filled with Holy Guts as well. Women today would do well to look them up and consider what they have to offer.

Answer 2

No...but sounds like an interesting book.
What I like about the Bible is that we can all learn from both the good AND bad people.
Plenty of excellent examples on how to (and not) live our lives, regardless of whether the reader is a believer or not.
The Bible, after all, is a document about us, people, humans.
And the strange, wonderful and foolish things we do.

Answer 3

I've never read it. But Elizabeth Wurtzel did write a book called

*****: In Praise of Difficult Women

and spent a lot of time focusing on Delilah.

Answer 4

No, I havent heard of it, and I'm sure that there are so many things written about everything in the Bible, that some one had to write about the "bad girls" in the Bible eventually :)

I wish you well..

Answer 5

I've read it and thought it was a very good book. I even bought a copy for my sister and continue to recommend it for others.

Answer 6

No I haven't read or even heard of this series but I may have to look into it. Thanks for being it to my attention though, I like to read books like this.
