Liz Curtis Higgs Is Back with Another Bevy of Bad Girls

Over the past year I held women's hands in prayer, shed tears as they unveiled their own badness and embraced God's redeeming grace in the same breath, and heard heartfelt stories in letters, on-line, and in person. How these readers have blessed me with their trust!Through every encounter, God made himself clear: Keep writing. So here are the rest of them -- with even hairier tales to tell.You probably know their names or remember their sordid stories. Bathsheba the bathing beauty. Jael the tent-peg-toting warrior princess. Herodias the horrible beheader. Tamar the widow and not-so-timid temptress. Athaliah the deadly daughter of Jezebel. And three ancient women without names but with much to teach us: the ashamed Adulteress, the bewitching Medium of En Dor, and the desperate Bleeding Woman.Whether they were Bad and Proud of It, Bad for a Good Reason, Bad but Not Condemned, or found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time under a Bad Moon Rising, the lives of these Really BadGirls of the Bible all demonstrate one thing: the sovereignty of God. Honey, we're talking "Thy will be done". Period. The unstoppable power of God to press forth with his mighty plan for mankind, not working around our sinful choices but through them.
