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.

Every girl/woman should read this!

This is one of those books that every family should read. It helps with your own self perception, helps with parenting, and can bless your whole family if applied.

Educational & Awesome!

I love this book! These girls are amazing and can relate to other teens. I was surprised. It taught me a lot on how to be a better parent to my teen daughter. It also taught me things to think about as being a daughter myself. Even though having one child myself as planned & no regrets. We don't dress the way they do. I wish I had this audiobook when I was a teen myself. It would have saved me so much heartache & pain. This book taught me how to deal with it. I bought the book & audiobook in hopes my daughter will read it. I have heard her make comments like I hear in the book. She is in public school since grade 7. This book can help her and guide her father and I in many ways. The book has brought me closer to God. I learned a lot. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about the Duggars and anyone with children in their lives. 😄

Love it!

Would you consider the audio edition of Growing Up Duggar to be better than the print version?

I have both. Sometimes I don't have time to sit down and read, so I'll turn on my audiobook. I could listen to it anywhere! In the car on a roadtrip or at my house while I'm cleaning.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All the Duggar girls are inspiring.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

It made me feel like I was sitting in a room and having an actual conversation with the Duggar girls!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! But unfortunately, I didn't have the time to. ;) I would listen either 30 minutes or one chapter at a time.

Any additional comments?

Please write another book soon!

Absolutely loved this book.

I loved listening to this book. The girls message about how they have been raised in a Godly home with Christian values was beautiful. As a grown woman it has made me reevaluate my life and leaves me striving to put God back in the center of everything I do. I highly recommend this book for all ages but wow what an encouragement for young woman.

The love for Christ and family.

i like how they freely testify about Jesus Christ. I like how they make sure to tell their listeners they are not perfect but strive to follow Christ's direction for them.

Loved it

I love the Duggars and enjoyed hearing some more “behind the scenes” from years past. Even though things have definitely changed since then with the family. And the Josh parts were hard to listen to, the other girls stories were inspiring.

I just love those Duggar gals

This is a great little book. It is rather short and sweet. One of my closest friends is getting ready to foster three precious sisters and already has three boys of her own, and I couldn't wait to share this with her because there are so many great ideas for families and child raising. My other closest friend has five children and she learned a lot too. I think these gals have a great message and a great delivery. This will not be a book for everyone.
