Becoming Free Indeed

I saw Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear by Jinger Duggar Vuolo advertised somewhere and was intrigued so got it on audiobook from Libby. It is a memoir about Jinger's faith journey as she separated herself from the beliefs of Bill Gothard (the religious leader who guided her family's beliefs when she was growing up) and centered her life based on the Christianity of the Bible.

This was an interesting read. It made me sad to read about how much of her childhood and teenager years were founded in fear (being scared of God punishing her for various things that really weren't a big deal). I found it interesting to follow her thought process as she disentangled her faith and figured out what she truly believed as an adult. The book was a good reminder about focusing on what truly matters in Christian faith (following Jesus Christ) and teaching your children about God in a way that is not based in fear.
