Counting the Cost: A Memoir by Jill Duggar



I have never watched this TLC show, but this is good. I have sat with people who have come out of the IBLP and similar cults. I have companioned wives who have been abused through the teaching, children who have been given a distorted view of God and are still deprogramming, and parents who have grieved ever getting involved with IBLP (and similar cult-like teaching) when they have seen the long-term effects on their children. Picking up this book was hearing a very familiar story. Jill and her husband have come out of this with such grace and love. This is a worthwhile read.
