a teenage rebellion against low expectations

“This book has totally changed the way I think. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “In a culture where laziness and ease is often the order of the day for teenagers, Do Hard Things presents a radical and provocative alternative. How do I know this? This radical, yet relatively simple idea, has changed my life.”

“The message of Do Hard Things is going to awaken the dreams and passions of thousands of young people all over the world. – John Piper, bestselling author of Don’t Waste Your Life Or as the Harris brothers would say, ‘Rebel against low expectations.’” Don't adapt to the low cultural expectations for youth. “Adult expectations for youth are too low. It is crystal clear, to the point, interesting, funny, challenging, encouraging, and an easy read.” – Chuck Colson, bestselling author of How Now Shall We Live? And the voices that are asking teens to rise to meet this challenge are voices from their own generation. It is challenging teenagers to rebel against the low expectations placed on them. “This book is one I would recommend to any of my friends, teen or not. – Randy Alcorn, best-selling author of Heaven and The Treasure Principle I'd love for every teenager to read this book, but I'm just as eager for every parent, church leader, and educator to read it.” In fact, I believe it will prove to be one of the most life-changing, family-changing, church-changing, and culture-changing books of this generation. “Do Hard Things is an extraordinary book. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last.

And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. 'Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. This rallying cry from the heart of an already-happening teen revolution challenges a generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today. Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. Then they map out five powerful ways teens can respond for personal and social change. And Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge.ĭo 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.Ĭombating 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. A generation stands on the brink of a 'rebelution.' A growing movement of young people is rebelling against the low expectations of today's culture by choosing to 'do hard things' for the glory of God.
