DO HARD THINGS
A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
by Alex & Brett Harris

The next generation stands on the brink of a
"REBELUTION"

ABOUT THE BOOK:

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Alex and Brett Harris founded TheRebelution.com in August 2005 and today at age 19 are the most popular Christian teen writers on the Web. The twins are frequent contributors to Focus on the Family’s Boundless webzine, serve as the main speakers for the Rebelution Tour conferences, and have been featured in WORLD magazine, Breakaway, The Old Schoolhouse, and the New York Daily News. Sons of homeschool pioneer Gregg Harris and younger brothers of best-selling author Joshua Harris (I Kissed Dating Goodbye), Alex and Brett live near Portland, Oregon.

MY THOUGHTS:  I'm only partially through this one, as Brian, Ashley, and I have  been reading through it together.  But, I must say that what I've read so far is FANTASTIC!  We are all really enjoying it, totally agree with everything that Alex & Brett are saying, and look forward to finishing the book.  Brian has already taken it and shared some things from it with his Sr. High Sunday School class.  I'm planning to do the same with my Jr. High class when we're through the book.  I think this is a book that needs to be put in the hands of EVERY TEENAGER in the U.S.

I will be posting the first chapter of this book on May 15th.  If you can't wait, check out the Rebelution blog or go buy the book for yourself.

Looks like a great book. I've been to their blog before.
They did a really cool survey awhile back about what guys REALLY think about stuff.
God is really using these two!

Heidi,
I definitely need to pick up this book. It seems like a must read for Victoria and I. It is great to see the work these two young men are doing. I love that they are encouraging other teenagers to step out.
