Liz Curtis Higgs in Jamestown NY

“Christian author, speaker, and encourager, Liz Curtis Higgs and Prison Fellowship International are partnering to present the Endless Hope Tour at Willow Bay Theater (21 East Third Street Jamestown, NY 14701) at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 22, 2019.

“An international speaker, and best-selling author of 37 books with 4.6 million copies in print, Liz Curtis Higgs’ messages are biblical, encouraging, and profoundly funny. ‘I can’t wait to dive into the Word and share with you the hope-filled stories of two sisters, Mary and Martha, as together, we discover the deep-down joy and the absolute peace that comes in knowing Jesus,’ Higgs says.

“Sponsored by Prison Fellowship International, Higgs’ Endless Hope Tour helps raise awareness about the 14 million children, worldwide, who have a parent in prison. These children, desperate for hope, are among the world’s most vulnerable, persistently exposed to abuse and exploitation into sex trafficking and child labor. Without intervention, they are five to ten times more likely to end up in prison themselves.

“’Children of prisoners are an invisible population, suffering in ways we cannot imagine,’ Higgs says. ‘Yet, because of the dedicated work of Prison Fellowship International, hope is alive and well in their lives. Truly, endless hope!’

“With music and worship by Austin and Lindsey Adamec, join Liz Curtis Higgs for an event overflowing with joy and laughter, and celebrate God’s boundless, matchless, endless hope. “

Why am I such a fan of Liz Curtis Higgs? Her genuine warmth conveys God’s love across the screen and the page. Her Bible studies call to a deeper walk with the Lord, and her works of fiction create story worlds of intrigue. Our women used Liz’s book, The Girl’s Still Got It!, for a retreat, and gleaned a new understanding of Ruth and Naomi’s connection to the lineage of Jesus, and what it means to love your neighbor. Invite your neighbor to experience Liz with us!

Book Review: 31 Verses to Write on Your Heart

Liz Curtis Higgs brings a bouquet of verses to the table and delicately places them on a banquet of lace. Her words soothe and cajole. Her illustrations reaffirm. As she serves up 31 Verses to Write on Your Heart, she also offers up sage wisdom: “When you spend time in God’s Word, life starts making sense. The broken places inside you begin to heal. Darkness and discouragement give way to hope.”

Beloved author and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs has learned the beauty of that advice. A seasoned student of the Bible, Liz has authored more than 30 books with 4.6 million copies in print.

When used as a daily devotional in collaboration with the Study Guide tucked into the back, this little treasure will unlock God’s Word in a new way and stimulate your thirst to dig further. Incorporating over 30 translations of the Bible, Liz dissects each verse in order to glean the rich fullness packed therein. She also references the Hebrew and Greek words, in order to mine out the original intent.

One example that shone for me, was the chapter based on Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Liz talks about the meticulous process a blacksmith follows to sharpen an iron blade. A metal file is drawn across the blade to create a sharp edge. The blade is rubbed against an oiled whetstone to smooth away the rough edge. Then heavy sandpaper blends the edge with the rest of the surface. What does that have to do with people? When we care about each other, we use words to open gently, polish and smooth over old wounds. We sharpen each other’s faith “with a timely word.”

31 Verses to Write on Your Heart is a delightful tool to put to work month after month. From 31 passages to 31 tips for absorbing them into your life, 31 Verses will equip you to carry God’s Word with you wherever you go!
