"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."
