Product Description:
A generation stands on the brink of a 'rebelution.'

A growing movement of young people is rebelling against the low expectations of today's culture by choosing to 'do hard things' for the glory of God. And Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge.

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. Then they map out five powerful ways teens can respond for personal and social change.

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 an already-happening teen revolution challenges a generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.

- Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations Although this book is an excellent read for teens and young adults it is also very useful for parents and for those who work with young adults. The examples they give are real and clear and they make young people realize they must raise the bar in their lives and do things which may be hard and certainly go beyond what is expected or required. This is a book to read and to give as gifts to the important young people in your lives.

- Insightful and informative. A must-read for youth!
This is a fabulous book not only for teens but adults as well. Do Hard Things is so well written, I'm amazed (not to mention impressed) that it was penned by two eloquent young adults. It's clear to me that the authors have a great amount of insight and wisdom from personal experience that they have brought to the table with this book. Everyone wants their teens to do great things. So why not get a copy of this book for your church's youth group and start a rebelution at your church?

I loved the part of the book where a teen felt saddened when they overheard someone say something like, "Well at least they aren't on drugs." Isn't that so true how many people don't expect much, and they are happy to settle with the fact that their teens are passable in life, or say it could be worse? Our kids these days seem to think that they can just grow up and somehow survive and also afford the fun stuff they can ... Read More

- Teens are not the only ones who fall prey to low standards and expectations...
I tend to have high standards and high expectations - both for myself and for those around me. And, I have been told that my standards are too high, and my expectations are unreasonable. Maybe they are. Or, maybe society's expectations are too low...

When I first heard about Alex and Brett Harris' book Do Hard Things, I was intrigued. But, I put off reading it because, no longer a teenager myself, and quite a few years from parenting one, I assumed that it did not apply to me. But, on a friend's recommendation, I moved it to the top of my "to-be-read" list.

Throughout the book, I was surprised at the insight and wisdom that these two authors had. And, I had to keep reminding myself that they were "just teenagers." Just teenagers? Even as I thought it, I realized that I had just proved their point. I did not expect two teenage boys to be capable of writing a book - let alone a good ... Read More

Overview:
When I was in high school, Joshua Harris called young people to redeem romance, and now his twin brothers are calling teens to reclaim responsibility. Pointing out that the advent of youth culture and the teenager are fairly new developments, Alex and Brett Harris deliver a knock-out punch to the status quo that modern culture imposes on teens (and no wonder--none other than Chuck Norris wrote the forward for the book!). Not only do they rebel against the expectations of our society, but they raise the bar to challenge teens to live up to what God expects of them--to be what He has created them for. Similar in theme to John Piper's Don't Waste Your Life, the Harris twins call young people to take on God-given responsibility with a godly attitude--for His glory. This book is about ... Read More
