A Love That Multiplies: An Up-Close View of How They Make it Work - Hardcover

As the Duggar children grow up-even while more little ones are born-Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar face more than baby diapers and organizational chore charts. In their new book, they share practical insights about the joys and challenges of parenting with faith. In this second book from the Duggars, they focus on the principles that equip them to face life's challenges-drawing from their most recent challenge with the 3-month premature birth of their newest child, Josie. They also share the new challenges their older children are facing as they prepare for adult life. Central to the book is a section on the principles that the Duggars have consistently taught their children. These simply worded principles are basic to the Duggar family and are shared in a way that other parents can incorporate in their own homes. A special chapter on homeschooling gives valuable information to parents who are considering this route or are already invested in it. 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 must importantly, faith. The Duggars show how parents can succeed whether they're rearing a single child or several. Table of Contents Preface: Our Biggest Test Begins Part 1: Little Baby, Big Challenges 1.
