Young and Beardless

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.
