Publisher's summary

In a rare look inside America’s favorite mega-sized family, the four eldest girls talk about their faith, their dreams for the future, and what it’s like growing up a Duggar.

Airing weekly throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, 19 Kids and Counting has made the huge Duggar family into a media phenomenon. The Duggar children are frequently asked, “Tell the truth; do you really agree with the lifestyle your parents have created for you?” Now, the four eldest Duggar girls—Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger—open up about the blessings and advantages of living the Duggar lifestyle.

With a backdrop of the key relationships in their lives—relationship with self, parents, siblings, friends, boys, and God—the four Duggar girls open up about their own personal faith and convictions, boys, dating, manners, living in a large family, politics, and much more. You’ll learn how the family navigates the difficult years between twelve and sixteen and what the girls look for in a man, all in a frank and fun audiobook that will inspire teens and adults alike. Including lighthearted stories about the younger kids’ antics, Growing Up Duggar is a wise and entertaining trip into a family like no other.

Ok.

I really liked the Duggars and these girls but some of the stuff they were giving advice about screamed hypocrites after the light of the family scandals. So sad...

This book gave me peace in my heart

A must read for all women not just young teens. Anyone contemplating their purpose or direction, needs this down to earth view of the bible and how God is to work in your life. This book has given me peace and clear direction on where I need to turn my talents and heart. Thank you Duggar family you have been a huge blessing and inspiration on my life!

Great lessons to teach young girls!

Used this to teach character in our homeschool. I had planned to read it myself only but when I heard the wonderful message I decided it would go along perfectly with our character study.

A truly great book! With a message to change lives

What a beautiful family with a great desire to glorify God! This book is such an inspiration! I pray that there will be many more that they will write as God directs them. I did not want it to end!

Hard to finish

I felt like this was meant for a younger audience. Close to teens. As an adult, I knew most of their "advise". I just lost interest and skipped over most of it. Save your credit. Still love them.

loved it!

This book kept me interested and I even went back over most chapters twice after noting and reviewing the said Bible Versus listed in that Chapter. I am not a young girl,in fact I'm a Mom of 3 in my 30's. I have been needing to reconnect with Jesus and these girls made me feel Jesus in my heart again. I can honestly say I have turned my life over to Jesus because of this book after losing that path since eight grade. Thank you Jana,Jill,Jessa,and Jinger!!!! Also Thank you all for all the Wonderful family ideas on keeping my Daughters pure and helping them have a servants heart. My Son is the same age as Jessa and He is a United States Marine. Please Pray for him. Thank you for this Amazing book. I Love you Girls too !
