Publisher Description
In A Love that Multiplies, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar share the principles they have relied upon to get them through the challenges of raising nineteen children, as well as the character qualities they teach their kids and try to model themselves. The world continues to be amazed by their nineteen well-groomed, well-behaved, well-schooled children and their home life, which focuses on family, financial responsibility, fun—and most importantly, faith. The Duggars show how parents can succeed whether they’re rearing a single child or several.

"After only 5 pages into the book I was happy to see one of the Duggars' goals in writing _A Love That Multiplies_ is to show that a person can live a godly life even with difficult challenges and struggles. Another things that stuck out to me was a comment about their fan mail: even those who consider themselves liberal, Muslim, or non-religious write to tell them they admire the end product of the way they've trained their children. While I don't agree with all of their religious convictions, their methods of family management, child rearing, and devotion to God while "under the microscope" encourage me to grow more like Jesus myself."

" I really enjoyed reading about how the Duggars organize their everyday life with all those kids. I don't agree on a lot of their particular beliefs, but I do love the advice they implement for raising children with patience. Whether you agree with their methods or lifestyle, you have to admit that they raise their kids to be polite and respectful. "

" This isn't a book I would normally read. But I actually liked it. I don't agree with everything they do but I do like their patenting style and I think I learned a little too. They sure are Christian though!! "

" I may not agree with their religious beliefs, but I really enjoyed this book. I also like reading how the Duggar family makes things work. If you like the television show you will like this book. Most of the stories you may know already from watching the show.l "

" Reading this makes me feel like such a slacker parent. I am not nearly as purposeful in my parenting as the Duggars or at patient. I guess that is why I have 4 and not 20 kids! "

" Good book...it gave me lots to think about. I was fascinated with their concept of no dating till marriage. Can't quite wrap my head around that one, but I love the idea of "courting" as opposed to dating. Their reasoning is spot on! "
