Book Review - Title: Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris

Our pastor made reference in his sermon on the group of teens who set up a website called TheRebelution.com. After making a check on the website, I looked up on the book written by the site’s teen founders Alex & Brett Harris. I found the audio book in the Public Library.

I found this book like a wake-up call to action; to Do Hard Things for the glory of God; firstly exposing the low expectations that are robbing our generations, reclaiming those in their teen years as the launching pad of life.

Alex & Brett suggest in their book the five kinds of HARD things to do:
1. How to do hard things that take you outside your comfort zone
2. How to do hard things that go beyond what’s expected or required
3. How to do hard things that are too big for you to do along
4. How to do hard things that don’t pay off immediately
5. How to do hard things that go against the crowd

John Piper, Desiring God Ministries and best-selling author of Don’t Waste Your Life wrote, “Adult expectations for youth are too low. And these twins are out to raise them. Don’t adapt to the low cultural expectations for youth. Set high ones. Youth can become examples for adults. Think that way. Dream that way.”

Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship and best-selling author of How Now Shall We Live? wrote, “If you’ve got a teenager – or if you have a grandson or granddaughter – I want to encourage you to pick up a copy of Do Hard Things. It would make a great graduation present or summer reading.”
