Maggie, the farmer's youngest daughter, loves getting gifts, especially mysterious ones. One wintry day, she receives a package in the mail. She excitedly opens the package to find a bulb buried in a crate of dirt. This was not what Maggie expected. She had hoped for a doll or a game, not a bulb that would one day become a plant. When spring comes, she finds the bulb in the cellar and tosses the lifeless thing into the garden, never to think of it again. . . . Until she walks outside on Easter morning and finds the most beautiful lily she has ever seen. Through the unique gift of a bulb, Maggie discovers the power of grace and forgiveness and the true meaning of Easter.
When we go through hard times we long for those who understand, who have gone down this road before us. This is your tribe. In this second edition of She Writes for Stories of Living Hope you will hear voices of women sharing discoveries of hope, and even joy, they've uncovered in the most unlikely circumstances the hard places of cancer, addiction, abuse, mental health issues, and suffering. Voices of experience, empathy, and encouragement share the shock of a cancer diagnosis, the need for a support structure, and how to endure the long haul of treatments. When addiction reaches into a family, one woman finds a way to honor her alcoholic father, another shares how to deal with addicted family members, and a third shares her path to triumph over a very real food addiction. From mental and spiritual abuse to the often-hidden shame of mental illness, to escaping the violence of an outlaw gang, women relate their candid true-life stories. These transparent accounts of finding the hope Christ gives will strengthen your faith and bring you inspiration for the circumstances of your own life.
More than four hundred "over 40" women share their views on the joys and challenges of life after 40, including some outrageous 40th birthday stories and Liz Curtis Higgs' own hilarious observations of life on the other side of 40. It's all original and mostly true! Not to mention, very funny.

Pótifarova žena a Delila mali problém s mužom. Lótova žena a Michal sa nevedeli vzdať minulosti, Zafira zas peňazí a Izebel sa nedokázala vzdať doslova ničoho. Žena pri studni však napokon úplne uhasila svoj smäd, Ráchab a hriešna žena zanechali za sebou svoju nemorálnu minulosť. Nech vám tieto „zlé dievčatá“ ukážu, prečo je štúdium Biblie také fascinujúce! Už cez milión čitateľov sa vydalo na cestu spoznávania odvrátenej stránky života s bývalým zlým dievčaťom Liz Curtisovou Higgsovou a jej poučným spojením súčasnej beletrie s biblickým komentárom.
