Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
Alex and Brett Harris begin their book with these four simple words, "Most people don't expect. . . " And with that, they begin to challenge young people to rethink their teen years. Teenagers are expected to party, goof off, sleep late and rebel against any kind of authority in their lives. Bret and Alex, only teens themselves, have co-authored a book to challenge today's youth to embrace a better way of living and to do more with their lives - starting now. The years of a 13-19 year old are not to be wasted. Teens need to realize that they can do great things for God and others at a very young age. These two young men encourage them to pursue excellence, dream big and do hard things.
I would say that this book is required reading for my family except for the fact that everyone is scrambling for their chance to read it. It's a very motivating book and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child who is planning on being a teenager or young adult sometime in the next decade or so.
