Excellent book. October 24, 2008

This is a very challenging book. I am planning to buy it for all those I know who work with teens. It's my son's Christmas present. It's an easy read but the ideas are life changing.
 Worth reading October 23, 2008
I've just finished reading, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations written by the little brothers of Josh Harris famous himself for writing I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Overall the book is outstanding.
Alex and Brett Harris talk about a counterculture of youth determined to be a part of "A Teenage Rebellion against Low Expectations."
"If you look back over history you'll find ... movements that were started (or fueled) by young people. The problem is, most of these movements were actually revolts against God-established authority (like parents, church , or government), and many were ultimately crushed or twisted toward another end.
All those failed revolutionary attempts are a discouraging record as far as teen efforts go, but not for rebelutionaries. We're not rebelling against institutions or even against people. Our uprising is against a cultural mind-set that twists the purpose and potential of the teen years and threatens to cripple our generation. Our uprising won't be marked by mas riots and violence, but by millions of individual teens quietly choosing to turn the low expectations of our culture upside down." (DHT p25.)
I'm not going to lay out a lengthy review what I will say is this: I plan on buying a copy for my nieces and nephews this Christmas.

It is time to stop saying "He's SUPPOSED to act that way...he's a "TEENAGER"! This book proves that we don't have to accept that way of thinking. It has served our family well as a morning devotion with our 2 boys - ages 17 and 13. Every parent with "young adults" living at home needs to make this book a priority!

A book that challenges you to put your Christian faith into action. October 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Twin brothers, Alex and Brett Harris, have weaved together principles and examples of faith in action in a book aimed at teenagers, but useful to Christians of all ages. They challenge us all to fight against low expectations in our society and culture, and do hard things, as the title of the book exhorts. At the age of only 19, they speak from experience. After reading the book, their website can be accessed to follow-up on their examples.
