Many facets,
one vital message!
Liz first explored the Genesis accounts of Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel for her series of best-selling historical novels, beginning with
Thorn in My Heart, transporting the biblical stories to eighteenth-century Scotland.
Then she recorded a video Bible study of Genesis 25 and 27-29,
Loved by God, now used by 4,000 churches nationwide.
A nonfiction book, Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible, later followed,
offering a verse-by-verse study of all five women who bore sons for
the patriarchs, adding Sarah and Hagar to the collection.
Now with Flawless, these timeless lessons from Genesis continue
to reach women's hearts!
"Higgs revisits the well of biblical women for this continuation of her hugely successful Bad Girls of the Bible series.
Higgs also reveals her own foibles as she weaves personal anecdotes into each chapter, underscoring the book's overall
theme."

“What a blessing this study has been. We have had more discussion during our small group setting on this study than any other we have done. Many studies have been difficult to understand, very time
consuming, and the applications have not been clear. That is not the case with
Loved By God. We are getting it. You make these scriptures come alive!”
—Debbie from Texas 
"An engrossing tale that transplants the Old Testament story of Jacob and Esau to 18th-century Scotland. Higgs draws the characters in fine detail, interpreting the relationship between Jacob, Leah, and Rachel with heart-wrenching honesty. Placing this familiar story in a different time, place, and culture reveals fresh insights into the power of God to work His will through flawed human motivation, emotion, and circumstances. It also shows a master storyteller's skill in shedding new light on a timeless story."

A
sparkling new program
from Liz Curtis Higgs
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is flawless.
Psalm 18:30 NIV
Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and
Rachel. We know their names. Now here are their eye-opening stories: Sarah mistreated her servant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister's husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister.
Oh my.
Yet, God cared for them, protected them, and blessed them—not because of their goodness or perfection, but because of
his. What hope that offers imperfect us! Verse by verse, we'll discover that God's well of patience is deep, his grace is
abundant, and his faithfulness knows no bounds.
Does the Lord love us when we fail him? Love us when we're unlovable? When others reject us, is God's love enough? Yes, yes, and positively
yes! Our ancient sisters from Genesis demonstrate how much God loves his chosen daughters and why his righteousness alone makes us flawless: "without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless"
(Ephesians 5:25-27).
Join author Liz Curtis Higgs as she takes a closer look at Genesis, carefully polishing each verse until the truth is revealed: we're
all flawed women loved by a flawless God.
