The Hope We Hold: Finding Peace in the Promises of God by Jinger Vuolo, Jeremy Vuolo
2.0
Meh, I was going into as an atheist who has watched all the Duggar tv shows and followed the controversy as well as the new documentary about the religion. I listened to the whole book, it was short. It felt icky, instead of just telling their story every sentence had to mention praying and god and Christ etc. it just solidified the indoctrination of the duggars and the sad fact that it continues in their further generations. I was surprised at Jinger’s decision to wear pants, hopefully that’s the beginning of some normalcy.
The part I found very surprising, was the honeymoon, them being bummed about the earthquake in New Zealand and changing their plans, being missionaries and going to other countries to help communities rebuild etc, I was stunned that they went to LA to continue honeymooning instead of being saviors and helpers and whatever else they call themselves and offering help to the people who has lost everything?
It as a whole definitely felt like they just wanted to spread their word and beliefs and convert people, there are enough of you. I’m good.
