Publisher Description

A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister…honey, we know these women. We’ve lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors. Now let’s take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sister’s husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister. They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us.

"I love Liz Curtis Higgs' emphasis in this book on the issue of control, and learning to trust God. I think every woman struggles with this, and it helps to see ourselves in the women of the Bible so we can learn how to overcome this tendency. Some people complain that she takes "liberties" with the Bible stories by creating modern-day counterparts, but I find the contemporary stories to be very helpful. They help me relate the ancient Bible stories to my life and make them more applicable to me."

    " As always, Liz Curtis Higgs humanizes Biblical women of ancient times and makes their lives and life experiences practical and comprehendible for a contemporary audience. Her tone is light--reading the book almost feels like chatting with a Southern girlfriend. Her research and support for her observations is sound and well executed. "

    " Hmmm. Well, read this if you are a newbie to the Old Testament. Otherwise, you know all the stories and you've probably analyzed them and this book would just be a fresh, girls p.o.v. of those same stories. Fun to read, but not terribly interesting. "

    " Digs into the lives of biblical matriachs w/a modern day spin. Doesn't beat you over the head w/religion. Easy read, cute in a corny way. Enjoyed it! "

    " This study helps us learn from Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. The ladies, like we've done at one time or another, made decisions that had serious consequences. Thankfully, God loves us anyway. "

    " I loved how the author compared real life scenarios to the biblical stories. It made me see the women of the Bible in a different way, and it was actually interesting to hear their stories, especially because I think women in the Bible tend to be ignored more. "

    " A good read. Much less dry and less heavy than many Bible study books and, therefore, much more readable. I couldn't get into some of the present-day stories, so didn't like those much. However, they were brief and the main focus was on the Biblical characters. "
