He tells stories from his childhood with emphasis on the changes that occurred when his father Phil became a Christian. He too tells most his marriage to his wife Missy, the nascency of his three children, and his daughter Mia's challenge of having a crevice lip and palate at birth

Jase is a funny guy but he is very serious well-nigh his personal faith in God. I was quite impressed with Jase's active, evangelistic faith and his relationship to God. He quotes many scriptures throughout the book and his preaching on Jesus and the gospel takes up a substantial portion of the text.

Overall, a very interesting, entertaining and inspiring book.

Out of all the Duck Dynasty books I've read, and I've read them all at this fourth dimension, this is the one that focuses the Well-nigh on the Lord. Throughout every tale Jase tells, in that location is a lesson to be learned from the Bible. He relates those stories with ease and a simplicity in agreement the Discussion that anyone on any spiritual level tin empathize. I have a new respect for Jase; his convictions and hunger to win souls for Christ.

Later on reading all the Robertson book and watching the evidence, I experience every bit if I know them personally...like I could just pick up the telephone and call them and talk for hours on terminate! Whether you are a fan of the show or not, I believe that you will enjoy this book. I learned an awful lot about frogs and ducks from this book! I didn't know there was that much to them! ...more

I like and relish watching Duck Dynasty although I'm non part of the hyped-upwardly fan base that has fabricated the show so popular. I'thousand happy for the Robertsons and the platform they take to spread joy and Jesus. So I expected to like GOOD CALL. Just the truth is that I LOVED Good CALL! This volume gave me a lot of insight into the heart behind the Robertson family unit. I liked that this book was about Jase's life, not particularly nigh the evidence. I was encouraged by the corporeality of Scripture woven throughout the south I similar and enjoy watching Duck Dynasty although I'm not function of the hyped-up fan base that has made the show and so popular. I'k happy for the Robertsons and the platform they have to spread joy and Jesus. And so I expected to similar GOOD Phone call. Just the truth is that I LOVED Practiced Call! This book gave me a lot of insight into the middle backside the Robertson family unit. I liked that this book was nearly Jase'south life, non particularly nigh the evidence. I was encouraged by the amount of Scripture woven throughout the story of his growing up in the home of Phil and Kay with his brothers. The offset chapter, 'Forgiving Phil', caught my attention and I never wavered through the book. There were moments when I literally busted out laughing ... and some tears also. I liked Missy Robertson's insertion into some of the chapters as well.

I would encourage young people to red this volume, because I call back there is a lot of wisdom for making adept choices early on. I loved this book and have already given a re-create away with plans to share it with other members of my family. I hope it'south a big seller ... and I think it would make a neat movie!

A quick and often humorous read, Jase'southward volume shows us an entirely unlike side to the sarcastic one people see on the air.

He shares all sorts of stories and it'south written in such a way that you lot can really hear his voice while reading. I was a fleck surprised at just how much faith factors into the Robertson household. I really enjoyed getting the scoop on some things from Missy's POV.

Good Call: Reflections on Faith, Family, and Fowl is a highly recommended collection of stories and observations on faith and his life by Jase Robertson (with Marking Schlabach) of Duck Dynasty fame.

Good Phone call: Reflections on Faith, Family, and Fowl is a highly recommended collection of stories and observations on faith and his life by Jase Robertson (with Marker Schlabach) of Duck Dynasty fame.

Skillful Phone call is an obvious choice for those who spotter and relish Duck Dynasty on A&E. Jase Robertson is the second oldest son and has worked for the family business, Duck Commander, for years. Jase also graduated from Bible college and worked in the ministry. This is his hazard to tell some stories (along with some comments from his wife, Missy) but, more importantly, share his deep faith in Christ. Obviously, as time has proven, information technology is easy for some people to make fun or look for faults in a person of faith, but I will e'er stand by his right to share his religion.

Actually, I don't spotter Duck Dynasty. I don't watch Television set much at all beyond news and conditions (online). I'thousand not a hunter either. My choice to have a review copy of Skillful Call may have some people past surprise... but not everyone. Kickoff, I strongly support the Robertson's correct to share their Christian religion and beliefs on their Boob tube show and at large. Second, I also grew up in a family with a father, often described as a human's man, who held fast to his strong, abiding faith, and hunting and fishing were a mutual part of everyday life.

It was from my own background that I could easily capeesh Jase'south stories. For goodness sakes, I had an uncle who played Christmas Carols on a duck phone call and we had to guess what he was playing. (Yes, he did a bully chore, and yes, we too could approximate the carols pretty quickly.) I am a Christian so I empathize Jase's faith and share that common bond with him. I value Jase's power to clearly explain his priorities in life, his faith, besides equally entertain us with his hunting and fishing stories.

You don't have to exist an outdoorsman to enjoy this book. Some readers might observe that they will appreciate Good Call more if they take a passing knowledge of the Robertson family and the testify Duck Dynasty. Certainly Christians will respond very favorably to Expert Call. I would gauge that at least some exposure to someone who is an avid hunter/fisher would help.

Just near all of the major stars of the Robertson Family on A&E's Duck Dynasty Series have written a volume to talk about their life and their journey. We've seen books from Willie, Phil and Uncle Si. Now Jase is getting in on the publishing market, sharing his incredible story of "success" - although not the success we think, even the success that might appear to us on Tv set.

Just nigh all of the major stars of the Robertson Family on A&E's Duck Dynasty Series accept written a book to talk about their life and their journeying. We've seen books from Willie, Phil and Uncle Si. Now Jase is getting in on the publishing marketplace, sharing his incredible story of "success" - although not the success nosotros call back, even the success that might announced to us on Telly.

Jase shares his story of faith and eternal goals. From the start folio, where he quotes scripture (and quotes it often throughout the book), Robertson is opening his heart to share the trials and triumphs of his own alive through the lens of religion. He recounts some hard years growing up, before his father found the Lord, and how his beloved for Jesus transformed him and made him who he is today. Along every portion of his life, Jase has put his faith offset - not simply applying it to his ain life, but living out his faith and ministering to others.

While I was aware that the Robertson family unit organized religion was a priority for their lives, this book completely caught me off baby-sit and surprised me. I had not read the other books, only have e'er enjoyed Jase'south unique way of looking at things on the testify. So I have been completely diddled away by chapter afterward chapter of his incredible story, his goals, and his continual pursuit in the up calling. Now don't misunderstand, the book is not a faith primer. Jase is sharing stories, lots of stories of family and friends, all your DD favorites, simply he's also showing the states that side of him that A&East never will - the thing he's most put his faith in - Jesus Christ.

Recommend for: Christians - both fans and non fans.

If you mix 1 part family memoir with 2 parts redneck bible report and then drop the mixture into West Monroe, Louisiana, this is the book you would get.

If you mix one part family memoir with two parts redneck bible written report and then drop the mixture into W Monroe, Louisiana, this is the volume y'all would get. The evangelical fervor here would be off-putting if information technology weren't so obviously sincere. Jase Robertson, like anybody else in the Duck Dynasty family, seems blessedly gratis of any pretensions. He's also an interesting man with a gift for remembering anecdotes, and a life rich plenty in experience to supply more than a few of them.

The writing fashion throughout Skilful Phone call is conversational, every bit yous might expect if you've followed his exploits on reality Goggle box or duck hunting DVD. Robertson as well admits that he wrote near of the manuscript after midnight. The virtually annoying foible in the piece of work is that neither author nor co-writer seems to wield adverbs comfortably: There are at least two instances of forgiveness for slights that Robertson says he and his family "didn't take personal" rather than "personally."

Once I realized that a down-dwelling sermon would stand up as counterpoint to social commentary, childhood memory, hunting anecdote, and everything else in the book, I found Robertson'south unabashed Christianity refreshing, admitting in need of adjustment in the few areas where his unconscious Protestant bias shows. Despite his love of nature, for example, Robertson plainly has no apply for what educated Catholics call "sacramentals," such equally holy water. That doesn't make his theology of baptism unsound, only information technology does make it incomplete. The same might be said for his claim that "My belief system does not come from a religious denomination or creed. It comes from the Bible."

I'd love to sit at Phil and Kay's dinner tabular array with the whole Robertson family sometime and inquire Jase where he thinks the bible came from. And that'due south just information technology -- I'd frame things a trivial differently than Jase Roberton does, only I'd withal enjoy his company, as I did fifty-fifty in this lightweight only heartfelt book. Other Christians are likely to experience the same way, unless they're looking for memoirs of a higher literary pedigree.
