More About the Author
Liz Curtis Higgs has been telling tales since she attempted her first novel--handwritten in a marble notebook--at the tender age of ten. Award-winning careers in radio broadcasting, public speaking, nonfiction writing, and children's books honed Liz's storytelling talents, bringing her back to her first love, storytelling.
She is the author of 28 books, with more than 3 million copies in print, including two contemporary novels, one novella, and six historical novels, among them her latest Scottish saga, Here Burns My Candle and Mine Is the Night, a New York Times bestseller.
Her popular nonfiction books include the Bad Girls of the Bible series of books, workbooks, and DVDs, with more than one million copies in print.
And she has written five books for young children, including perennial favorite, The Pumpkin Patch Parable.
Her children's Parable Series received an ECPA Gold Medallion for Excellence, her nonfiction book Embrace Grace won a Retailers Choice Award, and her novel Whence Came a Prince received a Christy Award for Best Historical Novel. Liz was an award-winning columnist for Today's Christian Woman for a decade. Her articles have also appeared in Faith&Friends (Canada), WomanAlive (Great Britian), and Enhance (Australia). More than 4,500 churches nationwide are using her video Bible study series, Loved by God.
A gifted professional speaker, Liz has presented more than 1,600 inspirational programs for audiences in all fifty United States and fourteen foreign countries. When the National Speakers Association honored her with the Council of Peers Award for Excellence, Liz became one of only 32 women in the world named to their CPAE-Speaker Hall of Fame.
Feature articles about Liz have appeared in more than 250 major newspapers and magazines, as well as on Salon.com, Beliefnet.com, and Spirituality.com. She has been interviewed on more than 600 radio and television stations, including guest appearances on PBS, A&E, MSNBC, NPR, TBN, CBC Canada, BBC Radio Scotland, Rhema Broadcasting New Zealand, Radio Pulpit South Africa, Focus on the Family, Life Today, 100 Huntley Street, Midday Connection, and Janet Parshall's America.
On the personal side, Liz is married to Bill Higgs, Ph.D., who serves as Director of Operations for her speaking and writing office. Liz and Bill enjoy their old Kentucky home, a nineteenth-century farmhouse in Louisville, and are the proud (and relieved) parents of two college grads, Matt and Lilly.

I love this woman! She has made me laugh and made me realize that not everybody is meant to be a size 6! Love your body and yourself, life is too short to be caught up in diets and the ongoing battle to be super skinny! Buy this book, you will truly love and enjoy it!

Bring on the largesse and the love with Liz Curtis Higgs book! I was touched to the core of my fat self while reading this book. I love her humor and her sensitivity to what us real women face, especially those of us who are less-than-perfect-model-looking! Amen...halleljuah...and glory be to God for this great book!

A feel good about yourself video,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Size Fits All [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The first time I saw this video was at a weekend retreat for my sisters and cousins. We all enjoyed it so much I ordered a copy for myself. I gave two programs to two differnet groups of ladies and both groups left with much high self esteem.Liz is certainly right on target about us women and makes our bond stronger with understanding and humor. If you're looking for a good laugh buy this video(if you can find it) or you can go to my web site [...] and check out "Things That Make Me Nuts," for laughs too.
