New York Times Bestseller Now available in trade paper! Jinger
Vuolo, the sixth child in the famous Duggar family of TLC's 19 Kids
and Counting and Counting On, recounts how she began to question
the unhealthy ideology of her youth and learned to embrace true
freedom in Christ. When Jinger Duggar Vuolo was growing up, she was
convinced that obeying the rules was the key to success and God's
favor. She zealously promoted the Basic Life Principles of Bill
Gothard, fastidiously obeying the modesty guidelines (no shorts or
jeans, only dresses), eagerly submitting to the umbrella of
authority (any disobedience of parents would place her outside
God's protection), promoting the relationship standard of
courtship, and avoiding any music with a worldly beat, among
others. Â Jinger, along with three of her sisters, wrote a
New York Times bestseller about their religious convictions. She
believed this level of commitment would guarantee God's blessing,
even though in private she felt constant fear that she wasn't
measuring up to the high standards demanded of her. In Becoming
Free Indeed, Jinger shares how in her early twenties, a new family
member—a brother-in-law who didn't grow up in the same tight-knit
conservative circle as Jinger—caused her to examine her beliefs.
He was committed to the Bible, but he didn't believe many of the
things Jinger had always assumed were true. His influence, along
with the help of a pastor named Jeremy Vuolo, caused Jinger to see
that her life was built on rules, not God's Word. Jinger committed
to studying the Bible—truly understanding it—for the first
time. What resulted was an earth-shaking realization: much of what
she'd always believed about God, obedience to His Word, and
personal holiness wasn't in-line with what the Bible teaches. Now
with a renewed faith of personal conviction, Becoming Free Indeed
shares what it was like living under the tenants of Bill Gothard,
the Biblical truth that changed her perspective, and how she
disentangled her faith with her belief in Jesus intact.
