Summary: It's GOOD to be BAAAAD....
Review: A truly original book for BAD GIRLS and the people who love them but might need a little help understanding them. I savored every page of this book, laughing, weeping and often nodding my head with agreement or insight. There's nothing quite like this out there (well, maybe the precursor to this one, Higgs's "Bad Girls of the Bible") so get this one. The author does a masterful job relating Biblical archetypes to the here-and-now. Read it and learn. There's a little bit of badness in all of us.

Summary: Liz Outdoes Herself!
Review: I got this book after having read the first one. I really enjoyed the first book, but Liz really outdoes herself with #2. When the title says, "Really Bad," she is not kidding. There are several stories that I had read several times in the Bible and not grasped the severity of them until having read Liz's modern day version. Yet there are some characteristic traits in these women that can be found in every one of us. A must read!

Summary: She's done it again!
Review: Liz Curtis Higgs has done it again, only better! Really Bad Girls analyzes ten more imperfect women from scripture. From the poor judgement of Bathsheba to the blatant evil of Athaliah, both bad and good girls alike can learn from the errors of women who lived thousands of years ago. Written with a wonderful mix of humor, empathy, and intellect, Really Bad Girls is a must read for everyone who has lived a less than perfect life.

Summary: You can't put this one down either!
Review: Liz did it again. Every bit as engaging as the first Bad Girls book. You've just got to love the way Liz deftly chauffers you over the highways of "Bad-dom" and ends up pulling your car right into the driveway of grace. Wonderful! --Lisa Samson, author of The Church Ladies

Summary: Bad Girls part 2
Review: Liz really out did herself with this book. I could hardly put it down. Since these bad girls were less familiar, it made me get into the Bible and study the word more. Because the Bible focuses on men so much, it is nice to realize that women were in there. There is so much we can learn from these Bad women. I am finished with this book and need Liz to write another one. I have bought numerous copies of this one and the first bad girls for my friends and family. I highly recommended this book to any one at any stage in their Christian walk. It will cause you to grow.

Summary: Hot Romance Novel
Review: The stories in here are so hot, you'll be running to your husband or partner after reading this book. Now I understand why people read Christian books; this is a romance novel under the disguise of a morality book. Read on, sisters! This book is a lot of fun!

Summary: A witty and insightful look at the Bible's "bad girls"
Review: This book is just as good, and maybe even better, than its predecessor, "Bad Girls of the Bible." In "Really Bad Girls", Liz Curtis Higgs follows the same format and conveys the same message as the first. She brings the reader's attention to often-overlooked women in the Bible, such as Jael, Athalia, and the Medium of En-Dor (no, not the planet the Ewoks live on!). She brings these "bad girls" to life and makes their stories relevent to today's women through modern-retelling of the stories. At the end of each study, she tells us what we can learn from them and that, most of all, God will forgive us and love us no matter what. Her "Bad Girls" books have really caught on like wildfire in the Christian community, and no doubt have captured the hearts of many non-Christians as well. Her books are different and edgy, which is just what the Christian literary community needs. As a reformed "bad girl" herself, Liz speaks as somebody who has been through it all and lived to tell about it. She welcomes every woman, no matter what her background, with open arms and an open heart. Even if you don't really consider yourself a "Christian", you will be completely won over by her books and message. Actually, I believe she wrote her books as much for those outside the Christian community as those within it. I was so touched by her books that I emailed Liz herself telling her what a difference they made in my life. She sent an encouraging, heart-felt message back, which totally made my day! How many authors out there will do that? Liz is definitely one-of-a-kind!
