I will begin by saying that I have never actually seen their show. I don't have much knowledge on this lifestyle, and what I did have was not flattering. I believe that in order to love everyone I have to understand them and their way of life. I chose this book because from what I have heard this way of life works for the browns and I wanted more information. Personally I loved this book, it was heart felt and informative. The authors had obviously done some soul searching and care about their family and that was wonderful to see. One thing I didn't like though was that I didn't have a firm picture of the children. This is about the parents and their struggles and the joy of their marriage... but that is only half of the story. I am not saying that the youngest should have to pour their hearts out, but perhaps a few stories from the teenagers? I would have liked to have a better understanding of how the children feel and cope.
