Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How to Have Your Life Not Suck
Bianca Juarez Olthoff · 2019
75/100
👍 Worth It
Bianca Juárez Olthoff pairs her own hard-won stories with lessons from the Book of Ruth to talk young women through career, friendship, and faith — grounded, scripture-rooted, and genuinely encouraging rather than preachy. Endorsements from Christine Caine and a real platform back it up, though the reach is narrower since it speaks mainly to young Christian women.
