The Roloff Family

I've been a big fan of the TLC show starring the Roloff family, so was quite excited to read this book.

The Roloff family values are ones that everyone should strive to incorporate into their family -- love, respect, committment, responsiblity, perseverance. Told mostly from Matt and Amy's points of view, this is a quick, easy read that is even more poignant due to the obstacles that this family has had to overcome.

I agree that I would have loved to have heard more from Molly, the Roloff's daughter, or from Jacob, the youngest son. But there are good stories from the other Roloff kids, Zachary and Jeremy, and overall this is a really encouraging read.… (mehr)

The book was definitely a quick-read, and I would surmise even a quicker-write.

My sister, Sherilyn, knows of my fascination with the Roloff family and bought me this book for my birthday this Summer. Jess and I are well into enjoying this new Season of the “Little People, Big World” television series with the Roloffs on TLC.

The book is great! Written partly by each member of the Roloff family, minus youngest-Jacob. The Roloffs share the values their family holds near and dear and shares from experience how defending those values has put them in the place they are today. There’s some great insight into their family within the pages of the book and some great words of wisdom.

I enjoyed most the chapter on the Roloff’s value of Faith. I read a clear statement of the Faith that Matt and Amy have in the One True God and salvation through Jesus Christ that I have received mere glimpses of through the television series. Jeremy, one of their twins talks about the importance that Faith has played in the family’s lifestyle, too.

The reason I felt it was a quick-write is because of an obvious mistake in which Zach was referred to as Jeremy in one of the first chapters.… (mehr)
