It’s so interesting to read more about Jeremy & Jinger’s relationship that wasn’t on TLC。 It’s amazing to see their walk with God。 They both have such strong faith。 That they aren’t perfect and they are being open and honest。 The title of the book is perfect。 There was a lot of hope through uncertainty。 Before they make decisions they take time to pray until they know the answer。 Jinger and Jeremy see each other as a team， not mine， his， or hers， but it’s theirs。 Jinger and Jeremy both had strug It’s so interesting to read more about Jeremy & Jinger’s relationship that wasn’t on TLC。 It’s amazing to see their walk with God。 They both have such strong faith。 That they aren’t perfect and they are being open and honest。 The title of the book is perfect。 There was a lot of hope through uncertainty。 Before they make decisions they take time to pray until they know the answer。 Jinger and Jeremy see each other as a team， not mine， his， or hers， but it’s theirs。 Jinger and Jeremy both had struggles with their walk with God， but their walk grows stronger。 I received this ebook from the publisher， in exchange for an honest review。 The review it my opinion。 。。。more

Not as bad as I thought it would be， but definitely missing any parts that made it interesting instead of just。。。 sad。Like， I'll pray for them。 That's the nicest way I can put it。 Not as bad as I thought it would be， but definitely missing any parts that made it interesting instead of just。。。 sad。Like， I'll pray for them。 That's the nicest way I can put it。 。。。more

Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo （nee Duggar）， of course are well known in various circles for two reasons - their ties to the expansive Duggar clan as seen on TV and their strong religious beliefs。 This book gives an inside look into how the couple grew up， met， and got married and how their faith has played a part of it all。 For those who are primarily interested in reading about their lives 'behind the scenes': There are definitely some new insights to be found within these pages。 Mostly the 'new' inf Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo （nee Duggar）， of course are well known in various circles for two reasons - their ties to the expansive Duggar clan as seen on TV and their strong religious beliefs。 This book gives an inside look into how the couple grew up， met， and got married and how their faith has played a part of it all。 For those who are primarily interested in reading about their lives 'behind the scenes': There are definitely some new insights to be found within these pages。 Mostly the 'new' information centers around Jeremy's life prior to meeting Jinger and the intense lengths he had to go through in order to gain Jim-Bob Duggar's approval to 'date' Jinger （who was 21 years old at the time）。 Spoiler detail/commentary about why they initially were not allowed to date each other:（view spoiler）[What really threw me for a loop was that Jeremy was held off by Jim-Bob from being allowed to date Jinger for FOUR MONTHS， and not because Jim-Bob was hesitant about Jeremy's intentions or because he was unsure as to whether Jeremy was a true Christian believer as you might assume。 No。 Instead， it was because Jim-Bob disagreed about Jeremy's specific theology beliefs。 It was never specifically laid out what exactly those theology differences were beyond a passing comment of "。。。we disagreed on the issue of free will and predesination"。 However these theological differences led to Jim-Bob stopping his adult daughter from dating a man that was a pastor of a church at the time！ It was also never explained how Jim-Bob eventually got over those theological differences。 But it wasn't just Jim-Bob who was concerned at the time。 At one point Jinger apparently broke off the 'relationship' before it even really began because she was so concerned about what everyone else thought about Jeremy's different theological beliefs。 （hide spoiler）] As for new insights into Jinger's life， she does delve a little more into her background。 Specifically， her trials with body image/disordered eating， and her struggles with having a true faith in God as a child。 But if you're hoping for more detailed or private looks into the Duggar 'family culture' she grew up in （as they both refer to it in the book） or just more information about her other family members， you'll mostly be disappointed as both are hardly even mentioned。 In particular， as I am sure a lot of people are curious about considering the recent child pornography charges that came out this past weekend， Josh Duggar is never even directly named in the book nor what he did in the past。 There was just this from Jinger: "One of my siblings had made some sinful choices， but it had all been years ago。 It had been awful， but we had dealt with it as a family。" There's no other details given of what happened back then， only reflections on how Jinger was feeling at the time when it was all made public。 As for Josh's scandal with being on the Ashley Madison website seeking an extramarital affair， it gets only a one sentence indirect mention from Jeremy: "I tried to encourage Ben as hate continued to pour out over social media， as TLC canceled the family's TV show， and as another shocking crisis hit later that summer involving one of the siblings。" That's all there is on the topic of Josh。 And lastly， yes， Jinger does address her decision to wear pants and goes into her grief associated with the death of her beloved Grandmother and her miscarriage。 The latter two of which brought some tears to my eyes。For those who are primarily interested in reading about their faith/religious beliefs:The introduction and the epilogue are the only times that particularly feel like Jinger and Jeremy are actively evangelizing。 Don't get me wrong， their faith is a central part of their lives and thus is mentioned frequently。 But mostly it's just a part of their life story， it's not directly discussed。 However， the epilogue keeps this book from simply being a memoir and changes the focus more towards what perhaps inspired the couple to write this book in the first place: "If you close this book thinking， 'Wow， what a nice couple; too bad I can't have a life like theirs，' we've failed。 It our goal that you walk away inspired by what the hope of Christ has done for us， and what it can do for you too。" I'm not entirely sure they achieved this goal， but pick up this book and decide for yourself。Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

“Jeremy and I aren’t special people with perfect temperaments and charmed lives。 The lives we lead， the relationship we have， is only possible because of our hope in Christ。 And this hope isn’t exclusive。 It’s available to anyone who wants it。”You may have heard the names Jinger （Duggar） Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo from the TV show Counting On， where their courtship， marriage， and parts of their lives were televised。 However， if you want to get more personal stories and insight about how their relati “Jeremy and I aren’t special people with perfect temperaments and charmed lives。 The lives we lead， the relationship we have， is only possible because of our hope in Christ。 And this hope isn’t exclusive。 It’s available to anyone who wants it。”You may have heard the names Jinger （Duggar） Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo from the TV show Counting On， where their courtship， marriage， and parts of their lives were televised。 However， if you want to get more personal stories and insight about how their relationship came about， their courtship， marriage， and early years of married life， you will want to pick up their new book， The Hope We Hold。 I enjoyed getting an inside look at their lives。 This book starts with memories from their childhood， and goes up until Jinger is pregnant with her second child。 The TV show focuses on the whole family， but this book focuses on Jinger and Jeremy。 It is the story of their relationship with each other and with God。 One thing that I really like about Jinger and Jeremy is that they seem to be authentic。 They admitted to struggles that they have had with their faith， finding themselves， and their relationship。 They also were not afraid to talk about God， and how their faith shaped their lives， as well as helped them through the hard times。 Through the uncertainty of their early relationship， losing a dear grandmother， a miscarriage， and other insecurities， Jinger and Jeremy were able to overcome because of their faith in God。 It was encouraging to read how these dark times， although tough， did not define them， but instead made them draw closer to God。 This made them， and their relationship， stronger。 I would recommend this book if you enjoyed watching Jinger’s story on Counting On， but also if you are looking for a book about a Godly couple sharing how they navigate life。 It was refreshing to see two young people willing to share so openly about their faith。I received a digital copy this book from the publisher， in return for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I really enjoyed the book。 I did think it might just be everything we already knew from the tv show， but there was a lot to be said in these pages。 I found how Jeremy and Jinger started their relationship to be very fascinating。 I’m also so curious to know more about Jeremy’s discussions with Jim Bob and Jessa and Ben and all of Jinger’s brothers to be honest 😂

This book was a quick read and very well done！ I loved learning more about Jinger and Jeremy and how faith shaped their lives。 I found myself really relating to some of the struggles Jinger had as a woman。 Her faith and growth through each trial is so encouraging！ Jeremy’s faith story is captivating as well。 I really enjoyed reading his account of their love story and how he grew in his faith。 Really uplifting book that I couldn’t put down！
