After much planning, typing and beavering away,
our book is finally completed and making its way into shops all around the world as I write.
We decided to take the questions we've been asked the most as our family has grown, and put them all into one book. We explain how our convictions regarding family planning changed over the years through our spiritual and personal journeys. We talk about how a mixture of determination, work and sacrifice has enabled us to carry out our beliefs. We also share the things we learnt along the way, such as budgeting tips, planning for a large family Christmas, homeschooling and how we prepare to introduce a new member into the family.
This book isn't just for large families but it also appeals to those who are simply curious about them. We wanted to share our story and our journey of where we came from and how we ended up as we are. Through our story we hope we can encourage others to accept children into their lives if that is what they feel called to do, while also answering the questions that many people have when they discover that you're not an average sized family!
"Larger Family Life", the book, is being rolled out worldwide over the coming weeks and within the next couple of months will be available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com and other online retailers as well as all brick and mortar bookstores for the list price of £10.99. (If you don't see it in stock at your bookstore or library please do ask them to stock it by quoting the ISBN 978-1-4478-1320-0).
However, it is available now for immediate purchase through Lulu.com, with the
Larger Family Life paperback version at a special discounted price of £7.69 or as a download for £4.79.

To celebrate I am going to give a copy of
