When the TLC camera crew ventured into our home for nearly two weeks
of filming, we were forced to explain why we have chosen to have so
many children, how we manage our household, and what we do that seems
to create so much love in the house. TLC captured over 50 hours of
footage but cut it down to a mere 44 minutes. Needless to say, most of
what we shared ended up on the editing floor. Numerous questions hung
in the air after the debut of the �Kids by the Dozen� episode:
�In the following pages you�ll enjoy
practical examples of how the Jeubs manage a family of 15�and some
pretty unusual stories as well. But at the heart of this book you�ll
see a deep, profound love for children as gifts from the Lord. It is
this love that is a timeless example every family
can learn from. The Jeubs have lived out that timeless attitude with
great effect upon me, and now, upon you.�?

Boy, was I surprised by this
book. I expected a guilt-inducing tome about a huge, perfect family.
But as I read about the Jeubs, they seemed so�normal. They�re relaxed,
trustful of God, and joyful about life. They�re honest about their
struggles and doubts. You�ll probably pick up this book out of
curiosity at how a large family makes it in today�s world. But I
predict that you�ll quickly move from curiosity to inspiration. What a
great story!�?

�Whether you have children or not, you will be blessed by
reading Love in the House. Wendy and Chris are real people with real
family struggles. Love in the House gives you a candid peek into the
home and hearts of the Jeub family, sharing some important lessons they
have learned. They share their lives with the hope and prayer that you
will be able to enjoy the abundant love and freedom Jesus intends for
each of us.�?

�Love in the House is a wonderful, transparent story of the Jeub
family�s love for God and children and the challenges and fun of
raising a family in today�s world. The Jeub family shares candidly that
they are learning together to embrace God through the triumphs and
trials of family life and to love without a judgmental spirit. How
refreshing their story is of family, faith and hope in the midst of the
world in which we live!�
