Britney Ruby Miller

Though labeled as a self-help book, I found 5 Star Life contained so much more than just self-help. It includes part memoir, part entrepreneurship journey, along with a journey of faith. I loved how it felt like the author spoke directly to me rather than talking at me. I appreciated reading about how Britney Ruby Miller dealt with various crises in her life. From her father to her husband to battling infertility, Britney Ruby Miller faced many challenges in her life, but this book illustrates how she faced them with faith.

I think one of my favorite parts of this book stemmed from the birth of their daughter Grace. I loved reading about how she and her husband Caleb fell in love with her immediately. I appreciated how the author shares the good and the not so good, and how God has been with her on this journey. So if you want an excellent book to read, check out this book for yourself.

I have not heard of the author before but I found her story interesting. She grew up in a family that was famous and had a childhood filled with fancy cars, big parties and lacked for nothing. Most of us would love a life like that but for her she wanted something different. I like her honesty in saying that she didn’t appreciate all the hard work her parents did to give her a good childhood. Growing up with famous parents made her a target for bullying. It is so sad that kids bully others simply because they are jealous. But through all the tabloids and rumors the author became stronger and shares her struggles of trying to please everyone.

One of the key points in the book for me was that it doesn’t matter what others think of you. It matters what God thinks and what you think. We shouldn’t let others control us with their hurtful words. Overcoming the sting of hateful comments can be a struggle. The author points out that we need to focus on God and not allow the enemy to saturate us with things that draw us away from God. It is hard to ignore words that are meant to hurt but I think about the scripture, “ Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

The book is definitely filled with encouragement and shares how to overcome the obstacles that may get in our way. God has a plan for each of us and as the author shared her story, I liked reading how she leaned on God. I loved it when the author said, “sometimes you have to persevere through the darkest nights to make it to the brightest days ahead.”

The author shares the Five Foundations For A Five-Star Life with scriptures, personal stories and Biblical characters. I like how transparent she is as she shares her journey and found that it was up lifting. This would be a great book to use in a group as a Bible study or to use on your own to grow closer to God.
