NEWS: Liz Curtis Higgs Featured on iBelieve.com

December 6, 2013

iBelieve.com has featured an article entitled “The Good Shepherd” by Liz Curtis Higgs, author of The Women of Christmas.

They couldn’t keep the ceremonial laws while traveling about the hills, they were often regarded as thieves, and because they were considered unreliable, they were not permitted to give evidence in court. Yet this was whom God chose for his witnesses and entrusted with his good news. Men of humble means, they too were homeless, living outside ‘under the open sky’ (amp) near Bethlehem.”

Read the first chapter of And Life Comes Back.
