BLH: Not deep in content, but pleasant reading with some insights and interesting historical and scriptural facts worth noting. Thankfully, study questions are NOT "fill in the blank".

Jeanne C: Beautiful look at the verses in Luke that cover the infancy narrative. Author Liz Curtis Higgs takes a deeper look at Elizabeth (Zechariah), Mary, and Anna (& Simeon) in The Women of Christmas. Her bible study and conversational way of writing are so appealing. I love how she gave me new way to think about these events!
As a Catholic, I love saying the rosary, which is actually a meditation on the life of Christ. In the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary we pray and meditate on many of the events in this book!
1)1st Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation Luke 1: 26-38
2) Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation Luke 1: 39-53
3) 3rd Joyful Mystery: The Nativity Luke 2: 6-19 Mat 2:11
4) 4th Joyful Mystery: The Presentation (Meet Simeon & Anna at the Temple) Luke 2: 25-39
5) 5th Joyful Mystery: The Finding of Jesus Luke 2: 42-52
The beautiful Canticle of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis) and the Canticle of Zechariah, and the Magnificat by Mary are said in the beautiful Catholic Liturgy of the Hours.
I'm grateful to Liz for her beautiful ways of studying and sharing these scriptures.

Klaudija Beutel: Reading through this book at my own pace has been a beautiful window of rest and quietness in my usually very busy house with four children under 7 years. Liz Curtis Higgs takes you through the Bible passages and as you read verse by verse she adds other Bible translations, her thoughts, back ground information and the original meaning of words. With that she sheds a refreshing new perspective on well known stories and challenges you to go back to the Word of God. I really enjoyed it and especially liked the part about Mary.
At the end of the book is an appendix with questions for group study or for personal study. So you can 'dig deeper' if you want to.

cicerosings: I had never read anything by Liz Higgs before so was a little leery on ordering the book BUT I really enjoyed her perspective on the Elizabeth, Mary and Anna ... made me look at them in a different light. I liked it so much I gave my first copy away and then had to order another one for myself.

Donna P: When I spotted this Christmas book, my mind immediately went to a sweet friend that loves this author. I hurried online to order it as a Christmas gift. Lo and behold..sorry, had to do it..it's the season..I found a place that said if you gave the book as a gift, the author would bless you with a free copy. FREE..so I just had to get into that. Sorry, it's probably over. It was a while ago. So I was also blessed with a copy of this book. What a deal!
Not expecting a great deal, I opened it and became fascinated with Liz Curtis Higgs take on the lives of Elizabeth, Mary and Anna. Tucked between the pages are scriptures and comments from ordinary ladies like myself. Some aren't really deep but the fact is, the story touched each lady at her point of need and growth in God's word. Elizabeth, wife of Zechariah, who was barren, all of a sudden was pregnant while burdened with a husband who was struck dumb while ministering in the temple. Elizabeth, whose child in the womb jumped for joy when he heard the voice of his Savior's mother, was probably the first human to encourage the young, newly pregnant Mary. When Ms Higgs got to Mary, what a refreshing point of view! Not some...

Fivelabmama: I am never disappointed with Liz's books. She is one heck of a writer and always true to scripture. This is a wonderful Bible study with notes in the back to spur you on. Keep up the great work Liz. I consider her my friend and if you write to her, she writes back, yes she writes back now an assistant but Liz herself.
