Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose, and a Meaningful Life by John Luke Robertson


Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose, and a Meaningful Life

Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose, and a Meaningful Life

Since I first discovered the Roberston family, I have greatly enjoyed and been blessed by reading their autobiographies. I was excited when I saw this newest book from the amazing Duck Dynasty family...this one by John Luke! At first it might seem unnecessary for me, a young woman in my 20s to be reading this book. But I was blessed and invigorated by it, and am happy to recommend it to every young guy I know! And yes, it is a great book for girls too. I was impressed by John Luke's sincerity, openness and faith in God. Not to mention his purpose in life. It is absolutely encouraging to see young people following God and going forward in life as John Luke is doing. A good thing also about this slim paperback book are the study questions at the end of each chapter.
I know people will love reading this book; thankfully I'm including guys- I can assure you that boys will be able to relate to and learn from John Luke! 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. 
John Luke Robertson may be young and beardless, but he has a lot to say about growing up and discovering your purpose.


John Luke Robertson, the oldest son of Willie and Korie Robertson and brother of Dancing with the Stars sensation Sadie Robertson, shares his story of what it’s like to grow up as a Robertson and all the fun and craziness that entails, as well as what he has learned as he has stepped out into his own unique experiences. He also shares what it’s like to navigate the walk from boyhood to becoming a man. Topics in this book include friendship, kindness, dreaming big, embracing your God-given uniqueness, taking chances, and choosing mentors.


John Luke speaks frequently on dreams (how to build a dream for your life), schemes (how to plan for your dream to come true), and building teams (choosing the people around you who will become a team that helps make your dream come true through their support, honesty, and care). He will incorporate these important guidelines into the book, ultimately helping young people learn how to find and pursue a clear-cut purpose in their lives.


Teens and young adults will enjoy reading his story, and they will benefit by reading Robertson’s wisdom and perspective on how to grow up and live out your purpose. And, with the Robertsons, this book is sure to be fun!

Game Changer: Faith, Football & Finding your way by Kirk Cousins

Game Changer: Faith, Football, & Finding Your Way
Game Changer: Faith, Football & Finding your way by Kirk Cousins

This little auto-biography is filled with faith! As I read this small paperback, I was inspired by this famous record-setting quarterback's obvious deep faith in Christ. This is the kind of book your sons need to read! A well-written story of an athlete who doesn't live just for the game, but for his Saviour! Mothers and sisters will be happy to know they can give this book to their sons/brothers...even husbands resting assured that it will inspire them in their manly walk with God!
Even as a woman, I found this an enjoyable and inspiring read! Even though I didn't understand much of the football terminology. (and even despite the fact that I'm not even interested in sports!) Kirk Cousins does a wonderful job with writing this autobiography. It is easy to comprehend, well-planned and delivers a fantastic message of faith.
A great gift for the men in your life!
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

More about the book....
Record-setting quarterback for Michigan State University and draft pick of the NFL's Washington Redskins, Kirk Cousins pens an accessible and compelling collection of life principles for readers young and old. With engaging stories from his award-winning career, Cousins illustrates core biblical concepts while encouraging good choices, and, in the process, readers get an inside look at high-stakes football as well as the personal and highly motivating reflections of a much-respected athlete.
Now in softcover, Game Changer is a great pick for parents, coaches, athletes, camps, FCA groups, and family explorations. It is not a self-glorifying biography or a sterile collection of dos and don'ts, but rather a dispatch from a real Christian life-with all its ups and downs-lived under the bright lights of college and professional football.
Featuring:
  • Personal stories and struggles of a competitive Christian athlete
  • Truthful discussion of media hype and modern sports culture
  • Reflections on honesty, humility, hard work, and privilege
