A Generation Stands on the Brink of a “Rebelution”
Do Hard Things
A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
by Alex and Brett Harris
What they say:
Teenagers Alex and Brett Harris are challenging their generation to rebel against the low expectations of our culture. Teens can use this time in their lives for growth toward a purpose.
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.
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.
What I say:
It’s very encouraging to read how these brothers began their Rebelution through blogging. You can definitely see God’s hand in where they are today. In a world where teenagers look to the media and society to tell them how to act and dress and feel, Brett and Alex are a breath of fresh air. What’s even more encouraging is that they’re not alone in wanting to do HARD things and reach their potential in Christ. At 19 yrs. they’ve obtained far greater things and a level of maturity than most 30 years old and their message is that teens want to make a difference in this world. There are many young adults out there wanting to do hard things!
I’m only on the fifth chapter and while I LOVE the message, I’m wondering how this will catch on with those teens who have less drive and ambition and do wallow in low expectations. Thinking about my own kid here who’s 13 and at this point in his life would never pick up this book. He doesn’t so much have low expectations, but he’s not into doing hard things. I’m hoping this book will give me, a mom, some insight into how to get my son to rebel! I don’t see this book doing that. I see it as a tool for kids who already feel that there’s something more, something they might be missing. But if I’m wrong please tell me!
I definitely see this as a great youth group study guide. Maybe I’ll have to give a copy to my church! If you want a copy, then leave a message. One lucky person will win! And if you’re a teen who comments, I’ll enter your name in TWICE! Just let me know!
