'Duck Dynasty' star John Luke Robertson talks about new book, says it was inspired by wife Mary Kate

Most of the Robertson family members of "Duck Dynasty" have already written their own books, and this time, newly-married John Luke Robertson is following suit with his new book entitled "Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose, and a Meaningful Life."

Robertson told ABC News that he was inspired to write the book because of his wife Mary Kate, who also shares his deep Christian faith. The two got engaged back in October 2014, then finally tied the knot last July.

"Chronologically, the book starts right before we got engaged and then it ends when we got married," he said. "It really shows our whole story from late dating to engagement to the wedding. She really had a lot of influence on what I talked about and she put a lot in there for the younger female audience. I'm glad her influence got to be included."

The book, which will be released on May 17, will not only detail their love story but also share a lot of inspirational quotes and stories for young people. Robertson hopes that those who will read his book will be inspired to make the most out of their lives and search for their God-given calling.

"I think we have more opportunities and resources at our disposal than any other generation before us. And I think that a lot of the time, we waste all of that on Netflix," he laughingly said. "Our culture, you get respect by watching 25 hours of a TV show. I watch a lot of TV, but there is so much more we could be doing with our time."

Robertson also said his family might be successful now, but things weren't always so easy for them. At an early age, he already learned the value of hard work, and this is why he is keen on making his own mark and not rely on his parents' finances.
