The Women of Easter Book Review

                                                            Liz Curtis Higgs is one of my favorite non-fiction authors. I have read several of her other books and thoroughly enjoyed them. The Women of Easter was no exception. Liz Curtis Higgs does it again by writing a book about all the women Jesus encountered on the way to the cross. She breaks down each verse in an understandable way that anyone can follow.  
                Reading about Jesus’s crucifixion was an emotional ride. It was gripping and heart wrenching to read. It was a good reminder. I feel as if I don’t completely grasp the heartache and torture that Jesus went through. Even though Easter is months away, it was still a great reminder to read this. I feel as if I focus on Jesus’s death and resurrection when Easter rolls around, but I always know I think to be thinking about it more throughout the year. This book helped show the importance of remembering His death and resurrection all the time and thanking God for it.
                Whether you have previously read some of Liz Curtis Higgs books or haven’t, I think this is great read for anyone. It is clear and understandable for anyone to read. I highly recommend any of Liz Curtis Higgs books, especially this one. She does an outstanding job of walking you through the events that led up to his death and then His glorious resurrection. After reading this I was left with a newfound perspective of Jesus’s death and resurrection.  
                 I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
