Welcome to The Duggar Family Website!
Our prayer is that all who view this site will realize that we are ordinary people with our individual weaknesses and imperfections but we serve an extraordinary GOD who delights in demonstrating His great power!
“And He said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee for my strength is made perfect in weakness, most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
We trust that you will find strength and encouragement from HIM who is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask…”
Grace and Peace, Jim Bob & Michelle
Duggar & Family
Welcoming our First GrandDuggar, Mackynzie, along with precious new addition Josie!
Our new grand-daughter Mackynzie Renée arrived October 8, 2009 to our oldest son Josh and his wife Anna and we are enjoying being grandparents for the first time! We are so grateful for this new grand-addition to our family and the Aunts and Uncles are so excited for Josh & Anna!
We would like to thank all of those who have prayed for our family the past few months and have sent encouraging emails. Our nineteeth child that was due March 18, 2010, ended up being born three and half months premature after Michelle developed pre-eclampsia. Josie Brooklyn Duggar was born December 10, 2009, at 25 weeks, 4 days gestation. She weighed only one pound and six ounces. Little Josie spent almost the first 6 months at Arkansas Children's Hospital. As the days and weeks have passed, we have relied on our faith in God, the prayers & support of friends & family, combined with expert medical care to help Josie grow and become healthy. We are pleased to report that she is now at home with the rest of our family and doing very well. She is now over ten pounds & counting!
We are enjoying the new phase of life, and as grandparents, look forward to what God has in store for us in the years to come! Psalm 127 says, “Lo children are a heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward.” We believe that each child is a special gift from God and we are thankful to Him for each one.
We have enjoyed hearing from thousands of families that have emailed us over the past several months and we regret that we have not been able to respond to everyone. We appreciate the words of encouragement and what a joy to hear from many who are seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ and yet others who desire to train up their children to follow God with their whole heart! Dr. S.M. Davis’ DVD messages have helped us raising our children, with a variety of topics on family relationships that can be a blessing to every family. Whether you are having conflicts in your marriage, dealing with a rebellious young person or just looking for solid principles to build a Godly family we encourage you to visit Dr. Davis' website.
The Jim Sammons Financial Freedom Seminar has helped Michelle and I to become one minded in the direction we are headed. It has encouraged me to be the spiritual leader that I need to be. It has made us and saved us thousands of dollars by learning practical Bible principles that apply to every day life decisions. Jim Sammons is a real estate developer, the principles he shares apply to everyone of us. He shares story after story in a funny way that my whole family enjoys watching it. It costs about $109 for the textbook and 10 disc video series - one of the best investments you can make into your family & business. We enjoy watching one hour a week, for example, like on a Saturday evening as a family or with friends and then discuss it. The Bible principles will challenge you to give every area of your life to God in a new and deeper way and your family will grow closer together as each one individually seeks God. This seminar has helped us get out of debt and has given us creative business ideas to support our large family. This will pay for its self with your first financial decision. You can't afford not to watch it!
We want to be quick to say, we are still learning by God’s grace & we do not consider ourselves ‘Professional Parents’. One thing we are confident of is “this very thing, that HE who has begun a good work in us will continue it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6) We consider the Bible the 'Owner's Manual' for our lives, and in it is contained all the answers to life’s questions. We hope to update our website in the FAQ's section from time to time.
A relationship with God is the most important thing in life. We recommend you listen to ‘Hell's Best Kept Secret’, this audio message from Ray Comfort will help you understand the big picture of Christianity. Also, start reading the book of John in the Bible and ask God to speak to you through it. You can be forgiven for everything you have done wrong and Jesus loves you no matter what mistakes you have made! The Bible says, "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (I John 1:9) Tell God that you are making a choice to forgive those that have hurt you in your life and that you desire to repent, to leave the self-centered life that you have been living. Then ask Him to become the center of and take control over your life and make you a new person. He promises He will... and it's FREE!
People don't go to heaven because they are good, because everyone has done things wrong. We go to heaven because we have been forgiven! Jesus paid the penalty for our sin. That is what people call being 'saved'. We are saved from Hell. You still will be ashamed of the mistakes you have made, but the guilt will be gone because you are forgiven! God wants you to go back to people you have done things wrong to and ask for forgiveness for what you have done, telling them you have committed your life to Jesus and you now want to live for Him. You will still make mistakes in the future, but daily pray to God and He will lead you. Find a Church to plug into in your area that teaches the Bible (we attend a conservative Baptist Church), they can lovingly help lead you in your walk with Jesus Christ. We pray God will do a great work in your life. We also recommend the free Daily
Success email that is
packed full of God’s wisdom. It will encourage and challenge
you in your daily walk with God.

We have received thousands of emails over the past several years asking questions about our family.
