I absolutely loved reviewing The Girl’s Still Got It: Take a Walk with Ruth and the God Who Rocked Her World by Liz Curtis Higgs.
This book spoke to me even in the introduction.
“Ruth’s definitely got it. What [is] “it”? Value. Significance. Vibrancy. Worth. Something vital and meaningful to offer, no matter how many times you’ve been around the block.”
Don’t we all want to be vibrant and significant? I know I do!
Reading this book is like sitting and chatting with a dear friend. We all know the story of Ruth in the Bible. But Liz Curtis Higgs brings her to life like no one can. And she makes us think. At the end of each chapter, there is a “Ruth in Real Life”: an example of a woman who had a similar struggle. I love to feel connected to others.
So, we can time travel with Ruth and learn more about ourselves and Jesus in the process. Liz uses various Bible translations and many historical examples from her extensive research to explain the tale of Ruth to us in a new way. She examines the language and cultural concepts and God is revealed in all the little details of Ruth’s story. Amazing.
I do love Liz’s style of writing. I have read everything and we even have all of her kids’ books.
And surprise! There are discussion questions and a small group study guide in the back. Just begging to get a group of girlfriends together to go on a journey.
And I want to share this video with you now. It’s quite hilarious. Have you ever seen Liz at a conference? She’s a riot!

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.
