Summary

It isn’t often that a person can live a dream, but Phil Robertson—better known as the Duck Commander—has proven that it is possible with vision, hard work, helping hands, and an unshakable faith in the Almighty. Phil’s is the remarkable story of one man who followed his faith in God and soon after invented a duck call that would begin an incredible journey to the life he had always dreamed of for himself and his family.
