This is my favorite Bad Girls book so far! It is more applicable to real life for me.

Excellent book! It was very encouraging to see how even the "best girls" in the bible made mistakes, overcame them, and how God loved them and helped them through their mistakes. Loved it!

I always get a lot out of Higgs' materials. Her wit and wisdom (thru her own Bad Girl experience) never fail to show me new ways to grow in my faith.

If you've read the other books in this series, you might understand where I'm coming from... this book goes into such detail, over chapters of the lives of 4 women - where in her other Bad Girl Books it's a new woman each chapter.
B/c I only met and learned about 4 main women, I didn't enjoy it as much, I reached the point where I was like "when will we be done with Sarah." It may have been immaturity, but I loved meeting more women, and seeing more modern stories that I can relate to!

Oh, I cannot stress how WONDERFUL this book is...I am not a 'reader' I tend to find books, read a couple chapters, and then put them down...usually never finishing them...but I COULD NOT put this one down. It was GREAT! God really spoke to me through this book...it was humorous, serious, remarkably enlightening, and easily the best book (besides the BIBLE) I have read! I HIGHLY recommend this book!

5 STARS from me!

I actually picked up all three of the "Bad Girls of the Bible" books at once, having never heard of them before, and decided to start with the "Slightly Bad" girls and work my way up. First of all, I love the subtitle of this particular installment--"Flawed Women Loved by a Flawless God". That really hit me where it hurts, if you catch my drift. I also enjoyed learning more about Sarai/Sarah, Hagar, Leah, and Rachel and seriously believe that this book would be great for new Christian women, while to someone who has studied many different facets of Christianity and the Bible for most of her life, it's pretty much just an easy read that may or may not bring up some great new things to think about.

My main complaint with this book was what I would call the "filler stuff"--I feel as if there were way too many direct quotes from Mrs. Higgs sources. I really think she could have re-worded a lot of the quotes and made them more her own. It also bothered me that she repeated whole verses or parts of verses from numerous different versions of the Bible. Although I believe the King James to be the "best" translation, I am not averse to *all* other translations...still, it got to be almost confusing, especially when she was quoting certain verses from three or four different versions and those versions were saying some VERY different things. She really should have picked one translation and stuck with it.

My favorite part of the whole book? The comparison between contemporary storylines and Biblical stories! Mrs Higgs left me wanting to learn more, especially about Sarah's and Leah's contemporary characters. Overall, I'm glad that I picked this up because I do feel as if I may have learned a little bit from it, and even that little bit is something. I'm also looking forward to reading the other two books in the "series".

most of us don't feel we are "really bad" or even just "bad" girls, but when you read Liz's book about "Slightly Bad" girls of the Bible, it really hits home. Just a "little" controlling, how bad can that be? I've yet to read a book by Liz Curtis Higgs that did not inspire me and cause me to think more deeply about my relationship with Christ.
