You really can do hard things... July 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a much needed look at the state of adolescence in our society. There is this odd idea out there that adolescents are basically useless, and should bide their time until they get a certain level of education and experience under their belts. This book prompts the teens in our society to flush that idea, and embrace a new one: Teens can take on responsibility, do hard things, and impact their own lives and others in meaningful ways.
The twins are, of course, Christian; therefore, this book is written from that perspective and so it contains references to Christian themes and scriptural teachings (as I plan to talk about more in depth on TheChristianScribbler.com) . However, this book is actually a great resource for people from all different religious backgrounds because the message is quite capable of carrying through. Also, I'd recommend this book to older children, teens, tweens, and anyone who is going to be working with kids; pastors, parents, teachers, counselors, etc...

This is a great book that really challenges the way you think and the way you live. This is a book that causes you to get up and do something. In a world of low expectations, I'm OK you're OK, whatever, I don't know I don't care, and endless mindnumbing entertainment with the click of a mouse.... this is indeed a refreshing book. Read it as a family or with 2 other friends and DO HARD THINGS together.
Excellent resource to challenge teens to greatness July 14, 2008

We are using this book as our study guide with a group of 13-18 year olds. Written by teenagers, it addresses their thinking directly without pandering or talking over or down to them. The Study Guide, available for free on the website, had very good questions to lead small groups. The book and the study guide make very good base materials to lead small groups.

I bought this book for my 15 year old grandson, and of course I previewed it to make sure I knew the book would be a positive influence. I can only say I wish I'd had this book to give to my son 25 years ago. Shoot! I wish someone had told me I COULD choose to do hard things that would set the precedent for my entire life.
The book is written (with help, I suspect-but maybe not) by teens for teens, but is not dumbed-down. I pray adults who see the enuii in our kids will use this book to encourage and help to inspire them to Do Hard Things. You can download the FREE (Did I say FREE??) study guide on the Rebelution website, and the blog gives me hope for the future leaders of this nation and this world. Do the Hard Thing--buy this for your teen and then encourage him/her to read it. Then give our kids the tools they need to practice and see the principles are true! They CAN do those things they never dreamed they could...
Mom's review July 8, 2008

I bought the book for my son, but read it myself and it was very good. I am totally against the self esteem movement. These guys have pinpointed one of the major problems with that movement (low expectations). Now I just need to push my son to finish reading it, but he's too busy doing hard things.
