Explanation In Favor Of Books The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families—How They Do It

This practical, positive book reveals the many parenting strategies that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar use as they preside over America’s best-known mega-family.

Each time a new baby arrives, the press from around the world clamors for interviews and information. Visitors are amazed to find seventeen (baby number eighteen is due January 1, 2009) well-groomed, well-behaved, well-schooled children in a home that focuses on family, financial responsibility, fun—and must importantly, faith.

Readers will learn about the Duggars’ marriage—how they communicate effectively, make family decisions, and find quality time alone. They’ll discover how the Duggars manage to educate all their children at home, while providing experiences that go beyond the family walls, through vacations and educational trips. And they’ll see how the Duggar family manages their finances and lives debt-free—even when they built their own 7,000-square-foot house.

Answering the oft asked question—How can I do with one or two children what you do with seventeen(soon to be eighteen)?—Jim Bob and Michelle reveal how they create a warm and welcoming home filled with what Michelle calls “serene chaos.” They show how other parents can succeed whether they’re rearing a single child or several. With spiritual insights, experience-based wisdom, practical tips, and plenty of humorous and tender anecdotes, the Duggars answer the questions that pour into the family’s Web site on a daily basis—especially after every national media interview and TV appearance—including their segments on the Discovery Health Channel’s “Meet the Duggars” series.

Evaluate About Books The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families—How They Do It

A while back I caught the show on TLC about the Duggar family building their new home. I was intrigued by the Duggars and judging by the response to their reality series, I'm not the only one. So, I picked up their book which is really a companion to their TLC/Discovery Channel shows. It's a quick read sprinkled with info on how Jim Bob and Michelle live their faith, raise their large family, stay organized, live debt-free and discipline etc. They get so many questions that they wrote this book

I am addicted to this odd family and their TV show on TLC.******I don't understand my own fascination with this family. They are the type of Fundamentalist family who appear to be continuing to have children so that those of their ilk will take over civilization through sheer numbers. They go to the Creation museum. The girls must wear dresses and not cut their hair. And yet I keep watching. Maybe it's just a sociological fascination. I don't know. I feel shame.And based on the recipes

This was an interesting book in a lot of ways. I got a few great parenting tips including some really fabulous ideas for teaching Christlike attributes to children (things like obedience and love). I also got a great reminder of how important it is to live debt free, and I loved the examples of how the Lord continually opens doors for us even when things seem hopeless. However...I thought that a lot of the things in the book were just over the top. I honestly ended up feeling like a huge failure

I ordered this for myself because this family fascinates me. They manage to raise all these children without outside negative influence from marketing and television. They are well behaved, not overly sugar-sweet, well-adjusted kids with parents who truly know they are blessed by their many kids. They are not people who sit back and expect life to bless them, they actively seek to live a wonderful life infused with their faith and with zero debt. The book explains how they built this family, how

"Why in the heck did you read this book?" is a valid question from those who know me, but then, if you *do* know me, you know I like to read about individuals and groups I don't...um...get. So I couldn't resist picking up this book, which offers a little (and I mean a *little*) more detail into the lives of the Dugger family than can be gleaned from their tv show--X Kids and Counting (I omitted the exact number since it may vary depending upon when you read this review.) Reasons to read this

I was really impressed by this book and how organized their family has learned to be. It was fun to see a family so large I could tell them there's only 13 in my family! Many of the family scenarios rang true from my own experience, and it was really fun to read. I liked the idea of blanket time for toddlers and will probably use it, and some of the other organization tips I think we'll be using soon. I've always admired large families, and this book was truly a pleasure and inspiration to read.

I love the Duggars. I was hoping to get a little more of their parenting style from this book, and that's the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars. I told my husband that we should ship our kids out to live with them so that way I could feel confident that they would grow up to be kind, humble, loving, with strong testimonies of Jesus. He just rolled his eyes but seriously, the Duggars are amazing.
