Perfect for you if...

  • You're a Christian woman who feels trapped between the 'good girl' image and your actual messy reality.
  • You want Bible study that's honest about human weakness instead of sanitising it into moral fables.
  • You appreciate witty, accessible religious teaching that doesn't condescend or oversimplify.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for straightforward biblical scholarship without personal application woven in.
  • You prefer studying Scripture's heroes rather than its cautionary tales.
  • You're not interested in study guides and discussion questions.

About this book

This study examines ten biblical women—including Sapphira, Delilah, Jezebel, Eve, Bathsheba, and Herodias—whose stories reflect struggles many modern women recognize in themselves. Rather than focusing on Scripture's celebrated figures like Sarah, Mary, and Esther, the book explores women who faced temptation, exhaustion, and personal desires that led them astray. Liz Curtis Higgs categorizes these women by their failings: those who were "Bad to the Bone," "Bad for a Season, but Not Forever," or "Bad for a Moment." Through contemporary retellings paired with verse-by-verse biblical study, the book shows how their mistakes offer lessons for avoiding similar pitfalls today. Higgs combines humor and encouragement to demonstrate how understanding these women's choices can help readers embrace grace and navigate life's challenges more wisely. Includes discussion questions and a study guide.
