Description
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!

Having read just about all of the other books by the Robertson family, I was really excited to see Young and Beardless by John Luke. While I enjoyed watching his wedding episode on TV, I didn’t really know a lot about him as a person.
John Luke has certainly accomplished a lot for his age. He is married and has his own business, but he is still young, hence the name of the book.
One thing I found really interesting about John Luke is that he loves to read. From what I’ve seen of the show, I was surprised by this. Not that I think he isn’t smart or wouldn’t like to read, I just don’t remember seeing him with books on the show. It was a side of him I didn’t know.
I enjoyed reading John Luke’s story. I found it interesting when he was talking about growing up in front of America. I tired stepping back as I was reading to think of what that would really be like and how that could affect you. Picture yourself going through the quirky years of your life in front of millions of people.
There was a lot I learned through reading this book, beyond learning more about John Luke. I got ideas from him that I’d like to implement in my own life. He may be Young and Beardless, but he is full of knowledge as well.

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.
