  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;The Duggars: 20 and Counting!&lt;/i&gt; is a behind-the-scenes look at the supersize family that fascinates millions of television viewers around the world. From Idaho to Istanbul, people want to know how Arkansas parents Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar efficiently and lovingly manage seventeen (soon to be eighteen) happy, homeschooled children without going into debt &#8212;&#8212; or losing their minds! 

This, the Duggars' first book, is an entertaining and enlightening collection of stories, photos, recipes, tips, traditions, and practical ideas designed to answer the questions of the curious, such as: 


- Why do you have so many children? 

- How do you provide for your family financially? 

- How do you handle mealtimes? Transportation? Laundry? Birthdays? 

- How are your children so well behaved? 

- Why do all your children have names that begin with J? 


Since their first documentary broke viewership records on the Discovery Health Channel, the Duggars have appeared in American and international news media, sharing their rock-solid faith and their overriding belief that &quot;children are a blessing from God.&quot; In these pages, Jim Bob and Michelle share their story, beginning with their own childhoods. They reveal how their growing-up years shaped their philosophy of parenting. It continues with tales of their big, busy family, whose televised documentaries and frequent appearances in news shows and newspapers have created an international following. 

The Duggars share, with humility and humor, the family routines and guidelines they've learned through biblical study and trial and error &#8212;&#8212; ideas that can help make your home a place of peace, love, and support: 


- Financial lessons for debt-free living 

- Organizing systems for a clutter-free home 

- Homeschooling methods and schedules 

- Training tips for little ones 

- Relationship builders for older children 

- Favorite Duggar family resources 


Reading &lt;i&gt;The Duggars: 20 and Counting!&lt;/i&gt; is like visiting this big, busy family right in their home: fascinating, inspiring &#8212;&#8212; and fun.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was really impressed by this book and how organized their family has learned to be.  It was fun to see a family so large I could tell them there's only 13 in my family!  Many of the family scenarios rang true from my own experience, and it was really fun to read.

    <body><![CDATA[It seems that a lot of people share my fascination with the Duggar family, and with good reason -- they've done some thing phenomenal: they've turned the seemingly daunting task of parenting so many children into the image of an idyllic family lifestyle. And they've entered the public sphere, and th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61051388">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I guess you could say the Duggars are my guilty pleasure; I watch their show “18 Kids and Counting,” previously titled “17 Kids and Counting,” religiously and I’ve seen all the specials on their lives, starting with “14 Kids and Pregnant Again.” I can also recite the names of their chi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58678488">more...</a>]]></body>

They have their reference listed on their website <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.duggarfamily.com">www.duggarfamily.com</a> too.

    <body><![CDATA[As a work of literature, this isn't exactly a masterpiece.  A good editor could have found a much better way to differentiate between the two first-person voices behind the story.  As it was, every few paragraphs the voice would switch between Michelle and Jim-Bob, with an &quot;I (Jim Bob)&quot; or...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51016153">more...</a>]]></body>

I have always been pretty fascinated by the Duggars, a family with 18 going on 19 children, and have seen several of the TV shows about them.

I got a few great parenting tips including some really fabulous ideas for teaching Christlike attributes to children (things like obedience and love).

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.  I love the Duggars and I pick up many tips from their large family management techniques.  I also found out I spend much less money per person on food than they do, which pleased Dave.
