Really enjoyed this book and Phil’s perspective. I’ve never watched Duck Dynasty so didn’t really know much about him going into this book. I found the book to be amazing. I love when someone is strong in their faith and not afraid to talk about it and share it with others

Another good one from Phil. Looking at politics and the world through a Christian perspective which I can relates is good.

I appreciated this book by Phil Robertson. He hit the nail on the head in his direct, straight-shooting fashion on many of the issues...abortion, health care, socialism, etc. There is so much hate in this world. He raised a valid point...what if we were to follow "Jesus Politics" instead of all the politics and the divisiveness that we have in this country? This world would be such a better place. He made it clear how we should decide to vote...not to be locked up into one party but to decide whose policies would most likely align with those that are Biblical.

As an aside, I got a kick out of the story where Jase was kicked out of the Trump Hotel in New York City and how Donald Trump Jr met with him and apologized for what happened. I also liked the question that Phil asked. When was the last time a politician told you they loved you? It was brought to mind when Donald Trump was campaigning for president in 2016, he told the crowd he loved them.

I also appreciated all the ways that Phil and Miss Kay help the people in the community.... from talking to a drug-addicted woman and getting her on the right path to Miss Kay talking young women out of having an abortion. Such good people.

Pretty straightforward. Important book.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

I've never read a book by Phil Robertson that I wasn't impressed with and this book is a "must read" for all Americans, young and old. He has the scriptures from the Bible to back up what he says. So read this book, pray and make sure you vote! Thank you Nelson Books - Thomas Nelson for the complimentary copy of this book.

Jesus Politics by Phil Robertson is a book that encourages you to care about politics and understand how each party supports your Christian beliefs and liberties. In addition, Phil challenges us to live our faith and share about Jesus. He challenges us; not the government to help people.

Phil is transparent about what he believes and why. He backs it up with scripture and stories in the bible. Many people underestimate his intelligence, wisdom and biblical knowledge because of his redneck nature.

The book is well researched. I was not aware of how the Brady Bill was put into place. I found that interesting, amongst many other items Phil shared.

Each chapter addresses a problem, recommends a solution and ends with a Kingdom Manifesto. He encourages you to pray, research the candidates and vote.

It brings hope. And personally I am thrilled that Christians are speaking out.

I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.

Jesus Politics is about recognizing the work of Jesus all around you and about acting on that truth.

Phil Robertson is a well known name and he pretty much comes as he is. I like that about him. He is not for the likes, popularity, and politically correct. If anything is anything but. He is not perfect but he is grounded in his faith and to me that is attractive. Christians do not all agree about politics and I find many are more liberal than I would think. The social aspect of politics keeps many Christians on the progressive left. However, and I agree that we should not give government the power because of the social deficient we currently have. It does not change the heart of people but only enslaves us to the almighty tax dollar. We are slowly losing free speech, freedom of religion, which leads to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Jesus Politics come in two parts. The voting booth and sharing Jesus. Each chapter ends with a Kingdom Manifesto. The problem we are currently facing and the solution we have in the Manifesto of the true King and what that looks like in action. Our vote does matter in kingdom matters so prayerfully consider. Does it give life? Does it tie in with the word of God? Does it make God known? This book will clarify some of these issues. You might not agree but God encourages us to reason. We will be held accountable.

A special thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

Love Phil Robertson. He is unapologetic and grounded in his faith. An interesting read on Biblical principles and modern politics.. Obviously this book has a targeted audience but I would encourage anyone interested in the future of our country and our people to read. He offers some wonderful insights. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for an honest review. This book offers a lot of insight and offers scripture and life experience and for me this book offers hope. I remember feeling lost when God was being kicked out of everything and today our country is facing a lot of challenges. This book is easy to read and understand and for me, it cuts out the noise and chaos and I can see that I am not alone, there are so many like me.
So many things have changed and at times it feels like we are getting beaten down. The book gives us examples of some of the things that have taken place. I read the Bible and talk to God but with the churches being shut down, you don't have that connection right now with other people. That is why I was meant to see this book because this book gave me a connection to others so that now I can see hope rather than the chaos and noise the media has been giving me. I can open my eyes and see others wanting God brought back and it is like a curtain has been opened enough so I can see the path to get me out of the chaos and to the places God is allowed and where there are people trying to His word back to us.
A book that was meant to be written and read by many over and over again. We together can make a difference.

Depending on where you fall on the political spectrum, you will either love or hate this book. It read very much like an impassioned pulpit speech but for politics.

Loved the format of the book. Problems are stated and Godly solutions are given. I love that Phil and his family live their convictions. Very well researched. A very powerful message! All political parties have their good and bad points. Christians need to pray and then vote for the person that most aligns himself/herself to God's ways. Recommended!
