Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible "We have been using your Bad Girls books for the past 9 years in our Women's Group. Through their lives, we can certainly see ourselves. At the moment we are discovering Leah in
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. Oh my, such broken dreams she had. When broken dreams cross our path, it helps to know that it takes broken soil to grow a flower, broken clouds to bring rain, and broken grain to make bread. We have been encouraged by your words of wisdom, your wit, and your candidness about yourself. Thank you, dear sister in the Lord." "I love your books. Your style of writing speaks straight to my heart. I enjoy the contemporary stories at the
beginning—it helps me relate and remember. I must admit that reading about the women in
Slightly Bad Girls just stomped all over my backyard! That book truly made a change in my life. I really got the point of waiting on the Lord and accepting his timing, not mine." "Enter my home on any Wednesday night and you will hear 12 ladies (past Bad Girls themselves) enjoying your study of those
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. We were rolling discussing Rachel, Leah, and those mandrakes! Oh, we have laughed and shared our own shortcomings with each woman and so enjoyed the way you write, so witty and wonderful." "I was so blessed by
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible, and overwhelmed at the same time. You words of study are awesome. I see these women in depth for the first time. Your words of
truth—and God's truth—are setting me free. Thank you so much for being humorous and insightful at the same time." "I think
Slightly Bad Girls is my favorite in the series. I’m currently reading it and enjoying it very much, especially your modernized narratives of these gals. This book will have a terrific impact on women. I always appreciate and admire your vulnerability, honesty, and transparency!" "Our Thursday morning Bible study is currently reading
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. Oh, I can not tell you how much we all enjoy your writing. We have laughed, discussed, concentrated, talked and talked...well, you can see what I'm saying. Your short stories are delightful and make our Bible stories come to life." "I've struggled with not feeling good enough. What a blessing to learn from the Bible stories of bad
girls—real women who struggle and sin and still know grace and can serve God and be loved by him. Thank you!" "A life group from my church is currently reading
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. It is fantastic, and the discussions that have been inspired by it are wonderful! We are a group of women ranging in our late 20s to late 30s. Thanks for sharing your fantastic gift with us!" "Just finished reading
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible and plan to share it with my girlfriends. These are wonderful books to read with a group. The study guides are great! I appreciate the fact that you do so much research for your books and love the up-to-date, fictional starter stories." "What a wonderful book! I love how you wrote about the wives of the patriarchs so readers can see the continuity. The contemporary introductions were so well done, and your attention to detail is so appreciated. It's clear these Slightly Bad Girls have been camping on the doorstep of your heart for years. You know them well! Thanks for sharing so openly from your heart your own struggles and weaknesses, to which we can all relate. Reading this book has brought me to see each of these women with fresh eyes. It is so reassuring and hope-filled!" "I just finished reading
Slightly Bad Girls and I have to tell you how much I loved it. I read
Bad Girls and Really Bad Girls and I thought, 'That's not me. I don't do things that are THAT bad. Shame on them.' Well, let me tell you......I am a slightly bad girl! Your book applies to so many of us good Christian women who just seem to fall off the wagon, who just can't understand why everyone does not think the way we do. I find myself not trusting God to handle my problems, and I argue with my husband. How wonderful to know that someone like you shares my struggle. And most of all to know that our loving and understanding Heavenly Father just keeps giving us another chance. Keep encouraging us, Sister." "Our study group is loving
Slightly Bad Girls. In fact, several of the gals have read ahead as they couldn't put it down. Thanks so much for your wonderful research, sense of humor, and great writing style we love so dearly." "After reading the introduction to
Slightly Bad Girls, I can so identify with all that you wrote. It has inspired me to leave my daughter's decision up to her and God, and try very hard not to push my opinion on her. Thank you for helping me not only in my spiritual walk, but also in my walk as a mom." "I just finished
Slightly Bad Girls and thought it the best of all! You are one of my favorite authors, and I share your books with family and friends. I thank God you are living your purpose. You are a blessing!" "This book couldn’t have landed in my mailbox at a better time, and I am convinced it was a God thing. The main question he has been asking me while reading it is, 'Do you trust me? Do you trust my promises to give you the desires of your heart?' My answers
is—Yes! Your book has helped bring me to a new level of peace about the journey, and has been such an encouragement to me. I can’t wait to share it with friends..." "I just read
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. What a great book; also in the back of the book the conversation that you had was just great. I have enjoyed that series so much. Thanks for being sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit in your life." "I
just finished Slightly Bad Girls and loved it! I knew the
stories well, since I've started The Bible in a Year about 50
different times and never finished...pitiful, but I had Genesis down
after about the fourth or fifth attempt! Your commentary was incredibly
illuminating. I experienced the matriarchs in a fresh and new way! I
especially love the way you examine each story from every possible
perspective. Thanks for blessing my life!" "WOW! Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible is so well written! I cried and laughed a lot! You are such a flawless writer. So full of love, compassion and truth. The humor came through and I loved every minute of it. Such a transparency into your life as well. Makes us all feel human, yet loved by God. There is a unique feeling that comes from reading this new book. I found myself saying so often 'Oh, dear Lord...that is me!' The most significant thing that came to me was the GREATNESS of God's GRACE. You made that so clear. I will stress to other women the 'must read' of this book." "Just like your other Bad Girls books,
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible is awesome! I always thought if someone was religious or God-fearing, they didn't commit any sins or ever do anything wrong, and that I could never be religious enough or fit into those
standards—how in the world could God ever love me? Thank you for showing me that even God-fearing, religious women make mistakes. I wish I had learned about these women in Sunday school the way you have taught me. You are AMAZING!"
