by Al Robertson and Lisa Robertson
Product Description
Alan and Lisa Robertson, members of America's favorite backwoods family and the Duck Commander Clan, take on the topic of relationships as they share the secrets that saved their marriage.
Infidelity, deceit, distrust and shame. Unfortunately, these are recurring themes in many of today's marriages in America,even in the family-values-promoting, Christian-based Robertson family.
With a romance that began in junior high, the couple got off to a rocky start but soon settled into married life and had two baby girls. Alan became a pastor in the church where his family had been members for years. Then, when Lisa had an affair, the heartache and the tension became very public.
But this is not a book about a marriage gone wrong. It is a candid story of rescued love and renewed commitment. After nearly getting divorced, Alan and Lisa came to terms with what went wrong in their marriage and both began the hard work of making it right. Now married for 29 years, Alan and Lisa counsel couples in trouble and speak across the country , openly sharing their hardships, their journey to renewed commitment and a thriving marriage.
Editorial Reviews
"The Robertson family you see on TV is characterized by happy marriages, great family relationships, and a strong faith in God - and all that is the absolute truth. But as you read Al and Lisa's book, A New Season, you may feel as if you've stepped into a soap opera. Theirs is a story of two people who brought some hard childhood experiences into a union that only magnified the problems. The journey from soap opera to blessed marriage is based in a miraculous restoration that you, the reader, can also experience. By the end of this book, you will realize that no marriage problems are insurmountable - if you have faith." - Tim Harlow, Sr., Pastor of Parkview Christian Church, Chicago
Al and Lisa Robertson's story is one of wounded-ness, poor decisions, sin, relational pain, and betrayal but ultimately reconciliation and redemption through Christ. For those who say "but you don't understand what I've been through,' I recommend this book as a clear example God can and does restore broken lives and hearts, no matter how fragile." - Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family
