Liz Curtis Higgs is a bestselling author and speaker known for her inspirational works that blend biblical scholarship with engaging storytelling. Her nonfiction titles, such as "31 Proverbs to Light Your Path," "The Women of Easter," and "31 Verses to Write on Your Heart," explore Scripture with warmth and practical insight, helping women deepen their faith. She also revisits biblical narratives through books like "The Girl's Still Got It," a contemporary take on the book of Ruth, and "The Women of Christmas," which examines the lives of Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna. Her "Bad Girls of the Bible" series, which has reached over one million readers worldwide, offers fresh perspectives on infamous women in Scripture, combining humor and grace.
Higgs is equally acclaimed for her historical fiction, transporting biblical stories like those of Rebekah, Leah, and Ruth to eighteenth-century Scotland. Meticulously researched, her novels have earned praise for their period authenticity, a result of her extensive travels to Scotland and dedication to historical accuracy. Beyond writing, she is a sought-after speaker, having delivered over 1,800 programs across the U.S. and internationally. Recognized for her excellence in speaking, she was inducted into the National Speakers Association's CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame.
Married to Bill Higgs, Liz balances her writing and speaking career with a deep commitment to encouraging women in their faith. Though she humorously admits to shortcomings in domestic skills, her passion for Scripture, storytelling, and connecting with readers remains unwavering. Her works continue to inspire audiences, offering both spiritual nourishment and literary enjoyment.
