Review

This interesting exploration of women of the Bible gives an alternative perspective to these “bad girls” and their struggle for wholeness and dignity in a male-dominated society. They were often movers and shakers who pushed their boundaries and some were tricksters who changed the course of events by taking strong, definitive actions, often displaying traits that are valued highly in our modern world. There is much to be learned from these bad girls as their human side is revealed and we discover that the challenges and emotions are similar to what women face today.
