The Women of Christmas - by Liz Curtis Higgs (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An unforgettable Bible study for the Advent season that weaves together the stories of three women who played a vital role in the first Christmas--from the bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible and The Women of Christmas.

"Breathtaking! I savored every word."--Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts

A sacred season is about to unfold for three women whose hearts belong to God. Elizabeth is barren, yet her trust in God remains fertile. Mary is betrothed in marriage, yet she is willing to bear God's Son. Anna is a widow full of years, yet she waits patiently, prayerfully for the Messiah to appear in the temple courts.

Following in their footsteps, you too can prepare for the Savior to enter your heart, your mind, and your life in a vibrant, new way this season. Bestselling author Liz Curtis Higgs explores the biblical stories of Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna, unwrapping each verse with tender care and introducing you afresh to The Women of Christmas.
