About Do Hard Things:With over 10 million hits to their website TheRebelution.com, Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge in a growing movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing to “do hard things” for the glory of God.
Written when they were 18 years old, Do Hard Things is the Harris twins’ revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential. Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life and map a clear trajectory for long-term fulfillment and eternal impact.
Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of revolution already in progress challenges the next generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.

My Thoughts:
This book needs to be in the hands of every teen you and I know. The wisdom and fire that Alex and Brett Harris have really comes through in the words of this book.
Chock full of amazing examples of teens doing "rebelutionary" things, this book doesn't just tell you that no one is ever too young (or too old) to do the "hard things" in life, it shows you!

I have a friend that is struggling with her teen son. His father all but abandoned him and divorced his mother. I'd love for him to read this. He has been raised in a Christian school, but dad went prodical and now he questions God. Sad!
Thanks, Robin
