I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I never know John Luke was such a good writer! I could really relate to him and I’m about 10 years older. I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to share it with my kids!

I like the Robertson family. I like that they live out their faith so boldly and do not compromise. I like that fame hasn’t seemed to go to their heads. I think Willie and Corrie have done a wonderful job raising their kids. Have you heard Sadie preach?!?

John Luke has definitely followed in his father’s, uncles’, and grandfather’s footsteps, being his one of a kind self. He admits he is awkward, but embraces his uniqueness with confidence. All the Robertsons seem to enjoy blazing their own trail and John Luke is no exception. In the book he tells about several of his hair brained ideas and how he went ahead and made them happen. For example, inviting friends over to play in their muddy pond area, trying a new sleep schedule experiment where he slept 20 minutes every 4 hours around the clock, meeting Bob Goff and taking a trip to Africa with him, and hopping on a plane to go try to meet Francis Chan when Francis wasn’t even aware he was coming. It seems the Robertsons aren’t afraid to try anything.

I’m sure most readers will enjoy John Luke’s stories. What I’m not sure readers will enjoy is that he repeated a lot of information from various books he had read. So in that regard, he was just restating someone else’s material. I think some will find that a bit dry. I was never bored with the material, but I did feel like there wasn’t a lot of substance. I would’ve never guessed he is such a reader.

This book will appeal more to a younger audience than an older audience.

I received an ARC copy from net galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I haven't heard of Duck Dynasty or Robertson's family before I read this book. But John Luke's book on family, life and faith is raw and on point. It is filled with slight humor, inspiring messages and challenging questions to ask oneself. I was never inspired by a self-help book but this book changed my entire perception on them. Even more, I'm a Muslim by faith and I still enjoyed this book! That alone speaks volumes about this genius work. I highly recommend you read this one instead of all the other books on 'how to be successful'. I'm pretty sure it would be way more worth your time.

Young and Beardless is an interesting book that I think all teens/young adults should read. This is basically a self help book on how to realize and then live out your dreams. These steps are well thought through, backed up by scripture and other books John Luke has read, and easy to follow.

I learned a lot about John Luke from this book. I have watched the popular TV show, but John Luke wasn’t a real significant person on the show. His story wasn’t really shown, except in his wedding episode. I learned that he loves to read, how he met his wife, and that even though he did a lot of his growing up on TV, he is basically just like any other teenager. This is what makes his book so easy to relate to.

I would recommend this book to anyone in their teens or early adulthood, especially if you are still trying to figure your life out.

Very well written and should be required reading for all young men. John Luke's sister gets the spotlight, but the young and beardless Robertson continues his family's tradition of honesty and integrity. Young Robertson has something to say and our world needs to hear it.

the book was very different from what i expected. Not really my type of book, but I can see it being a great book for others. A little too religious and preachy for me, but Christians will likely very much enjoy
