Summary

Read by the author.

New York Times Bestseller on disentangling faith but keep your belief in Jesus intact. 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.

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.

I’ve watched 19 kids for years and admired the love within most family members but have always queried what I thought was a deep sadness in the eyes of some of the girls/ adults but until recently was not aware of the IBLP. I think Ginger is extremely respectful towards her family and writes movingly about finding the true God and His true nature. I pray for her sisters and mum ( and the whole family) and that they will be allowed to read this beautifully written book. I also think she makes it very clear even to YouTubers who aren’t Christian’s that she hasn’t swapped one cult for another! She explains clearly that everything she hears now, from however famous and knowledgeable a teacher must be weighed against scripture, that she could challenge / question and not be shunned and maintain the healthy relationships she now has. A very well written book I pray will be used for the glory of God, especially for her family and the other family who appeared on tv along with many members of the IBLP and even those who belong to more obviously ‘Christian’ cults. A great read and witness also for all who followed the series, all who have wandered from true faith or are seeking Christ. God bless you Jinger and your lovely husband and girls who are growing up being introduced to the true God

An amazing account that is very clear and gives glory to our God who makes us free indeed!

I totally bought this for the possible gossip around her family. But I'm glad she had managed to break free from the suffocating rules that her family and community imposed and it's nice to hear the process of how she did it. I hope you continue to grow and are successful in making your daughters feel valued and happy growing up.
