A very different portrayal from the one we see on Jon & Kate Plus 8. Kate uses very biblical language throughout this book and constantly acknowledges the sovereignty of God. She also speaks clearly and strongly about what 'selective reduction' means using words like 'kill' and 'stopping a human heart'.
This book also shows Kate praising and loving her husband on almost every page. It makes for a sad contrast to what we now see on TLC. I can't help but wonder what happened and pray that both Jon & Kate would reread their own book to remind themselves how they once selflessly loved each other so they and begin again.

This book is exactly what you would expect. The writing's mediocre, but it provides lots of interesting details about the Gosselin family. Fans of the show Jon & Kate Plus 8 will enjoy it. One thing to note is that Kate Gosselin is devoutly religious and it comes through in this book. ( )

I have been anxious to read this book for awhile. I love the show Jon and Kate Plus 8 even though I don't get a chance to watch it very often. Kate is definately forthcoming and honest in her story of having twins and sextuplets in three years time. My eyes were opened to the physical struggles as well as the financial and emotional struggles Kate and Jon shared. Kate has a strong faith in the Lord and that is shown on nearly every page of this book. Without that, I am sure she would have crumbled. I appreciated how all the chapters began with a specific Bible verse that Kate related to. The book was also sprinkled with photos which gave a glimpse into their story as well.
This was an amazing book and should be read by every Christian Mom. It made me realize I don't have it so bad with 3 kids. Geesh! Jon and Kate had a real test of their faith in God, their faith in their marriage and their strength. I look at them in a whole new light after reading this book. I am jealous of how strongly Kate put her faith and trust in God and just relied on Him to bring them through. I could learn a lot from her! I know I will be referring back to this book again and again during my parenting years! You can also find out more about the Gosselins at www.sixgosselins.com ( )

Quick, exciting read. Honestly, it felt like a detective story as I kept waiting to figure out how they did it - How did this fairly young couple cope with eight kids, especially since dad was (initially) unemployed? I'm kinda in awe. ( )

This is the story of Jon & Kate Gosselin and their eight children, a set of twins and sextuplets. The book is pretty much about all that had to be done to bring those sextuplets into the world and everything that had to be done afterwards to provide care for them on top of making two big sisters not feel left out.

It will give you a new respect for their family. A normal everyday in their house would probably overwhelm most people. It's very insightful and I finished the book in a day. Anybody that has watched the TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8 will enjoy this book! ( )
