Summary
Summary
Publishers Weekly and ECPA Bestseller
Over nearly five decades of walking with God, podcaster, author and Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has learned a thing or two about why Jesus is the only one worth following. Of all the things we could put our trust in, only Jesus has the answers to our questions and the solutions for our problems.
Plenty of people claim to have the answers for a better life. Politicians claim they can fix our nation. Scientists and technologists trumpet the latest and greatest discoveries that'll make everything right. Self-help gurus offer one pathway to peace after another. But it's no secret that our world is increasingly divided and broken--and we've got the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness to prove it. Jesus alone can make good on the promise of lasting peace, real freedom, and life eternal.
With his trademark directness, humor, and insight, Phil will help you
experience Jesus as the Creator and all-powerful Sustainer of all creation; reconcile your own brokenness and sinfulness with Jesus' unending well healing, forgiveness, and peace; develop the eyes to see Jesus for who he really is: the friend who will always be there for you, no matter what mistakes you've made; and look to the Bible to get to know Jesus and better understand His grace and love for you.
Politics won't save you. Science can't give you the power to sidestep death. The pleasures and joys of this world are fleeting at best, damaging counterfeits at worst. But Phil has good news for you: Jesus offers life, joy, and peace, and he's never more than a prayer away.
Look for additional bold, biblical content from Phil:

Publisher's Weekly Review
Duck Dynasty star Robertson (Uncanceled) issues a zealous call for readers to embrace Jesus in exchange for "eternal life." Recalling how his own salvation at age 28 helped him "enjoy a new life rooted in an eternal future," the author relays similar promises to readers ("What if you knew that this star-breathing, death-defeating God also promises you immortality in exchange for you simply believing in him?"). He also contemplates what an eternal life might look like ("an intimate future in the presence of the Father we love and the Son who died for us"), and dispenses advice for how to fortify one's faith, including by confessing sins, renouncing "superficial substitutes" for God's love, and avoiding self-righteousness ("You may be a respectable church member, but so were the Pharisees"). Unfortunately, Robertson's message is often obscured by the somewhat meandering and repetitive structure, apocalyptic commentary on sex ("The growing number of people with STDs" is evidence of "spiritual darkness... creeping across our nation"), and retrograde depictions of what he claims are Satan's effects on Earth, including "broken marriages" and "young men and women confused about their gender and sexuality." Only the author's most devoted fans need apply. (Mar.)
