Nora S. (biblegirl06) reviewed It's Good to Be Queen: Becoming as Bold, Gracious, and Wise as the Queen of Sheba on + 92 more book reviews
I was intrigued by this author's insight into a woman who desired wisdom over romance. My spirit was encouraged as I learned about her. She wanted to meet this man, King Solomon, face to face. I hadn't realized the expense and trouble she went through in order to make that meeting happen. She wanted an audience with the King where he could answer her many questions and she could see his face as he answered.
Liz Curtis Higgs is a gifted, seasoned author that combines scripture, history records and her gift of storytelling to help us get to know the Queen of Sheba in an engaging read that shows off this author's exceptional teaching style. The author uses quotes from theologians and those from more recent queens to enrich the story. She also had some input from on-line friends. It was fun to learn about this woman Hollywood misrepresented.
Liz shows readers that they can seek and obtain queenly qualities for yourself. I was pleasantly surprised at all I learned (I knew nothing of this queen). I love this author's transparency and how she shares personal experiences to get her point across to readers; that combined with her sense of humor makes this book a must read.
This book can be used in a few ways. One for your personal use in your bible study and/or devotion time. The author includes ten discussion questions that would work well in a book club setting. There is also a study guide in the back of the book that will help your bible study group go through this topic chapter by chapter. The author gives personal, practical ways to apply scripture and timeless truths to your life that will impact you in surprising ways; if you let it. This book is one you'll want to share with friends.
