You know Ruth’s story. Now meet her in person. And prepare to be changed.
Walk with Ruth as she travels from Moab to Bethlehem, certain of her calling, yet uncertain of her future. Hold Naomi’s hand and watch love put the pieces of her broken life back together. And hang out with Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer, who blesses both women and honors God, big time.
With best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs by your side, you’ll tarry in the corners of their homes, listen to their conversations, and consider every word of every verse until you can say, “I totally get the book of Ruth. And I see what God is trying to teach me through this rags-to-riches redemption story—he has a plan for my life.”
Girl, does he ever!
Think of it as time travel without gimmicks, gizmos, or a DeLorean: a novel approach to Bible study that leaps from past to present, gleaning timeless truths that will draw you nearer to the One who knows you fully, loves you completely, and holds you close to his heart.
“A perfect blend of humor, extensive research, descriptive language, and insightful commentary…” Publishers Weekly

You’ll find Study Guides inside the book:
Rather than having a separate workbook, The Girl’s Still Got It has everything you need between the covers of the book! You’ll find a short list of Discussion Questions for book clubs, a longer Study Guide for more in-depth, chapter-by-chapter Bible study; and a recommended reading list for those of us who like to dig even deeper.
There’s a DVD available too:
Liz recorded a two-hour video teaching of The Girl’s Still Got It, which neatly divides into 12 segments of about 10 minutes each to go with the 12 chapters of the book. Use it for a 12-week study, a 6-week study, a 4-week study…whatever works best for you and your group.
You can also show this two-hour video at a retreat, watch it in your living room, use it for a Sunday school class…anywhere women love to gather and grow, The Girl’s Still Got It DVD is ready to show!
