Yay! The Duggars: 20 and Counting is finally available! My family has been following the adventures of this Christian home schooling family for several years as they have grown from 14 children to 18 children (#18 due Jan. 1, 2009). We have been encouraged by their strong Christian convictions, their desire to develop Godly character in themselves and their children, and how they manage home, family, and home schooling. Get your copy now and be encouraged by the story of their family.

The Duggars: 20 and Counting! By Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar / Howard Books Take a close inside look at the supersize Duggar family (18 children plus parents)! Since their first documentary on the Discovery Health Network, viewers have been fascinated with the story of this couple's faith and belief that children are a blessing from God. Their first book, The Duggars: 20 and Counting, is an inspiring and entertaining collection of stories, photos, recipes, tips, traditions, and practical ideas designed to answer the questions of the curious. Some of the questions they answer are "Why do you have so many children?", "How do you provide for your family financially?", "How do you handle mealtimes...transportation... laundry...birthdays?", "How are your children so well behaved?", and "Why do all your children have names that begin with J?". Adopt a few ideas from the Duggars and improve the peace and love inside the walls of your own home. Paperback.

Blessings,
Missy

I read this book cover to cover when I purchased it and I loved it. I would suggest it to anyone who would like to learn more about the day to day details of how this large family functions and thrives. There is a lot of the history of Jim Bob and Michelle's growing up years and how they met, including their testimony and how God has been at work in their lives. It is a wonderful testimony and would be a great encouragement to you. I read portions of it to the family, leaving out certain sections that were not applicable to young children. My children and husband enjoyed hearing about their lives and seeing God's hand at work in them. They are such an encouragement and I hope they write another book later. If you haven't gotten your copy I would encourage you to do so soon.

Blessings,
Missy
