A Must-Read for Families of All Ages ...
I really admire and respect the Duggars. Although some aspects of their life may not be for everyone, it is refreshing to see a family raising their children with good old-fashioned values. their four oldest daughters have done an amazing job of relating the advice of their parents' in such a way that people of many different walks can borrow, imitate, and adapt this wisdom to any situation. Even though the Duggars have 19 kids, I really appreciate how Jim-Bob and Michelle work to educate their children and also teach them valuable life skills as well as impart learning points with great cultural significance. I like how all the kids have music in their lives especially. Plus, it is very inspiring to see a family that lives debt-free, and lives frugally. My brother and I were brought up in a somewhat similar fashion. I'm a 44 year old female and a former Army Helicopter pilot, so I'm not really sure why I felt compelled to buy this book, as I'm obviously not a teenage girl nor am I a parent, but I must say it is Excellent for teens and older. It is more oriented towards young ladies probably 13 or 14 and older, But I think it would also be an excellent read for parents who have boys or girls. In fact, I hope the Duggar boys will write their own book as well, as I'm certain many young men would benefit from the Duggar outlook on life! Overall, the advice in this book is spot on. Their solutions for dealing with tattling, bickering, gossip, and other issues is very well thought out, and it is clearly very successful based on how well rounded and well behaved the Duggar children are!! Even though I've watched the tv shows for years, I plan to read the other books now. :) Buy it -- you will love it! Great job Duggar girls!!

Good Book!
I've been a fan of the Duggar family since they first started on TV and have enjoyed watching and learning from them! It's hard not to feel attached to all of the kids watching them grow turning into amazing men,woman,young ladies & gentlemen! The girls did a terrific job with writing this book I know Michele and Jim Bob have to be extremely proud of them & I can't wait to pass this on to my 16 & 14 year old daughters as well as many other people I can recommend it too there are a lot of wonderful powerful messages and lessons to be learned!!

Exceeded my expectations and more!!!
Books that I can't put down come far and few in between for me, but this is one of them. I have been following the Duggars since they started showing TV specials at a whopping 14 Kids and counting. While some of their morals and standards are a little far fetched, I would agree with and back up 98% of what they stand for. Being 21 years old, and a girl, it is a blessing to have amazing role models like these four young ladies. Since I have started reading their book it has definitely made me step back and take a good look at my life. In this book they touch base on very real topics and real life situations that every young woman deals with growing up. After I read through it I definitely want to read it with my two younger sisters as well as my mom and dad. Definitely something everyone can take away from this book! I disagree with the poor reviews, and would recommend this book to girls, both young and old, married, single, etc. Also could be a good read for a mother with growing girls!!! Definitely not disappointed!

Loved it!
This book was inspiring, humbling, amazing and interesting! The girls talk about their relationship with parents, siblings, the world, the community and several other realms but throughout it all is the concentration of their involving the Lord in every aspect of their lives. I think what I liked most is that as the girls were saying how their family handled certain things, they made sure to emphasize over and over "this is the way our family does it and here is why. But everyone should make his/her own choices!" I love the way that the parents have taught the kids to maximize on their own individual strengths and also to be good citizens in the world. Although they've been blessed to be free from many of the world's temptations as a result of their family's experience, it's not as if they are kept locked up at home; they have been involved in both domestic and international missions, they have had quite a bit of political involvement, they've done disaster relief, prison ministry and a whole host of other service related things, not to mention the travels they have gone on just for fun. I got some very good ideas to help as I'm raising my own two young children and I'll probably read this book multiple times. It's a refreshing look at how just one person can have an impact on the world and I would definitely recommend it for girls 12+ and also parents.

Sugary Sweet
I expected the book to be sugary sweet with lots of religious content, but I was left with the feeling that I didn't get to know the Duggar girls individually at all. On the plus-side, I didn't find the girls to be particularly judgmental in their writings, and they do seem very sincere in their faith and desire to help others. One issue that nags me is that with all of their wisdom (which honestly, there was some in there), these girls are very sheltered and I felt that the girls really had never experienced anything particularly trying in their lives. Their examples of issues they've faced just seemed so trivial that it's difficult to relate to them as they attempt to tell readers how to avoid life's biggest pitfalls, when they've seemingly experienced little in the way of having to apply those wisdoms to true struggle. I really was interested in hearing a sort of insider's view of their family, and getting to know the girls, but that's really not what I felt I got from it. I like the Duggar family, truly- but while the book was sweet, I really didn't feel much substance to it. It was very generalized and sort of impersonal.

Great lessons for anyone who believes in God and the Bible! These four girls have the wisdom beyond their years and share their beliefs about living a life of purity and love and how you can achieve it!

Livre très bien écrit, très accessible même à ceux qui ne lisent pas beaucoup en anglais. Beaucoup de conseils des quatre filles aînées d'une famille nombreuse en matière de relations, d'éducation mais aussi d'engagement dans notre vie quotidienne. Cela booste et met de bonne humeur. Après, on apprécie ou pas les valeurs revendiquées. A chacune et à chacun de faire ses choix!

I brought this as an e-book (with prayer) to be used as 'counsel from the LORD', unless the Holy Spirit told me not to & gave me a check in my spirit. I relished every word & wise instruction the LORD had given to His daughters on how to live in holiness to our God. This is an instruction book on 'practical' christian living for young adults. Be committed to your heavenly Father in holiness, fall in love with Jesus your Saviour & live for God & He let Him bring your life long partner to you. TRUST & OBEY for theres NO other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust & obey. I hope you let this book ENCOURAGE & INSPIRE you to run the race with Jesus.

An easy to read book with each girl giving their own experience of how they live out their faith, its gentle and very loving with a huge amount of respect for their parents, and how they have chosen to live differently observing biblical principles. I think its interesting and refreshing to read of faith in action that doesn't resort to violence to get their point across. It didn't make me want to go and join them, but I'm not the age group its aimed at. If I had a daughter I would encourage her to read it as an alternative, to peer/ media pressure which encourages children, to starting adult relationship before they are emotionally ready.
