A beloved, best-selling Bible teacher invites contemporary women to discover what they share in common with the ancient women of Genesis: Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. Now with a study guide and discussion guide included, this spiritually sound and cutting-edge fresh Bible study is ideal for both personal use and group interaction.

Good Women Behaving Badly

A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister…honey, we know these women. We’ve lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors.

Now let’s take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister’s husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister.

They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us.

“A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to fully submit to God. We love him, serve him, and worship him, yet we find it difficult to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty.” —from Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible

Praise for Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible

"As always, Higgs's tone is chatty and girlfriendish, addressing the reader in the second person as she emphasizes the lesson--and the humor--in each woman's tale. And as always, this one capably blends fictional vignettes of contemporary bad girls with in-depth exegesis of their biblical counterparts' stories. Higgs also reveals her own foibles as she weaves personal anecdotes into each chapter, underscoring the book's overall theme: even faithful women can sometimes be hurtful and selfish." --Publishers Weekly

"I love Liz's work! She entertains while teaching and leaves me with points to ponder long after." --Francine Rivers, best-selling author of Redeeming Love
