Phil Robertson (1) (1946–)

Month of April 2022: Celebrity Profiles

I purchased this book on October 23, 2020 for $1.00 at our local library, and it’s been sitting on my shelf ever since. I was reluctant to start because I seriously thought, after watching every Duck Dynasty show on television, what else could I learn? A LOT!

Phil’s personality and the way he talks comes out in his writing...brutally raw and honest. I loved it! He is definitely a man’s man. I’m sure he had PETA ready to turn a lawsuit after reading this paragraph:

“I learned to cook when I was young, and most of my meals started with something I killed. I have a God-given right to pursue happiness, and happiness to me is killing things, skinning them, plucking them, and then having a good meal. What makes me happy is going out and blowing a ducks head off. As it says in Acts 10:13 (KJV), “And there came a voice to him, rise, Peter; kill, and eat.”

Phil had an incredible upbringing. He’s been through some wild, wild times, and was brutally honest about those as well. I love how he decided one day to give up a professional football career and follow his dreams. He was out on the field, in the middle of a game, when he looked up into a beautiful sky full of stars, and thought, “What am I doing here?” He just wanted to be in the woods and living off this beautiful land. He walked away from a lucrative, full-time professional football career opportunity and has never looked back.

This book was originally published in 2013. Phil’s insights into the demoralization of America were spot on and is even worse today in 2022. His book is divided into chapters beginning with a rule in life to being happy, happy, happy, then follows with his story of how it pertains to his life. I could see how God has used Phil in every step of the way to bring about his great end goal of bringing others to Christ.

This was such a great and interesting read, which reminds me, I do own “Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen” cookbook (2013). It’s time I pull it out and start trying out some of her recipes. I purchased when it first came out and have only tested, to date, her Nutty Good Oatmeal Cookies. They are FABULOUS and are the only cookies I make for my grandies. They LOVE them!
