Bianca Oltoff is consistently encouraging but won’t let you get away with anything. This book is that kind of friend, too. She has put on these pages what she would say to you over a coffee or from the treadmill next to you or in a voice memo that you play before you walk into a big meeting. I’m sure you’re going to love this book because it’s what being friends with Bianca is really like: the best.
No one wants to have a bad day or be in a foul mood, but we often allow our thinking and behavior to lead us back to these well-traveled roads with a kind of spiritual amnesia. Your life doesn’t have to be like Groundhog’s Day over and over again; you can choose for it to not suck if you want to, and Bianca will show you how.

I laughed, I nodded, I highlighted, I exclaimed,”YES!” with this one. Bianca Oltzhoff is a firecracker who keeps it real in “How To Have Your Life Not Suck: Becoming Today Who You Want To Be Tomorrow.” I made lists of people who I wanted to recommend this book to and learned a lot from it myself!
We have many within our society who, honestly, haven’t had the support and encouragement they need to move forward into healthy adulthood. I know at different times in my life I wished there had been people who could step up and help, giving me healthy advice. Bianca is that adult who can tell it like it is and still be kind enough to encourage you towards positive change.
Through the anchor of the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi, Olthoff shares specific reasons why Ruth is someone we should follow after, learn from and draw inspiration from. The complex story of what Ruth walked through is broken down into subjects for chapters.
Olthoff shares the stories of unique people she has ministered to through the years as well as examples of the struggles everyone deals with as they become an adult. The book addresses so many things that it is difficult to list them all, but be assured the important things are fully covered. Olthoff also gives insight into how our view of ourselves and who Christ sees us as can often differ. I love that she’s not afraid to address difficult topics along with adding the insight from a therapist at the end of each chapter. This book is for anyone who has had issues with accepting the truth that adulting is hard to navigate!
One of my favorite parts of the book centered around her family’s powerful story of redemption, second chances and new life in Christ. You will want to keep that highlighter handy, trust me!
