Good Women Behaving Badly
A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sisterhoney, we know these women. Weve lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors.
Now lets take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her son, Leah claimed her sisters 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.
A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to fully submit to God. We love him, serve him, and worship him, yet we find it difficult to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty. from Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible: Flawed Women Loved by a Flawless God
If you want to spend time laughing, at the women of the Bible and at yourself, buy the DVD. It is based on Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible: Flawed Women Loved by a Flawless God, and while it doesn't follow the book completely, it is a very useful video for small groups who would rather do the video than read through the book and accompanying workbook Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible Workbook: Flawed Women Loved by a Flawless God. Because this video does not break into chapters like the book and workbook, it is aimed at a different audience. I purchased it thinking that I could show clips from it with each of our lessons, but discovered that it was better to watch in whole than in part. A great purchase, but not necessary for the study itself. Kindle
