Publisher's Summary

Discover a 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.

Foreword by Chuck Norris

“One of the most life-changing, family-changing, church-changing, and culture-changing books of this generation.” (Randy Alcorn, best-selling author of Heaven)

Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, Alex and Brett Harris 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 you to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today. Now featuring a conversation guide, 100 real-life examples of hard things tackled by other young people, and stories of young men and women who have taken the book’s charge to heart, Do Hard Things will inspire a new generation of rebelutionaries.

"Alex and Brett Harris are two extraordinary young men with a revolutionary message. 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. I heartily recommend this book." (R.

A must read. Teen or not.

An essential teen challenge and no less important for any parent to read. Don't pass it up.

Encouraging for all ages

I bought this book to prepare myself for my sons' teenage years even though they are only 6 & 3. I found encouragement in it for myself as well.

=D

Probably and most definitely of the best/most beneficial books anyone could read or listen too.

Inspirational

I enjoyed this book because it made me want to do something about what I believe in.

Worth the wait

This book came highly recommended, and it has been on my list for years. I zoomed through it, almost every sentiment echoing in my heart. These brothers nailed it...hard. Now I know where so many youth in our home school community are getting the awesome idea and attitude that they can make a difference for good...now!

Great book!

This is a great book, not just for teens but adults, too. I highly recommended it.

Great for anyone who thinks there is more out there and those that don't

Great concepts presented in an encouraging manner with specific direction. Must read for teens and parents of teens.

Even better the second time

I read do hard things before with my youth group when I was 20. It was very good then but listening to it 5 years later is even better. As a 25 year I got more out of this than half of my teens in youth group. But I think that's okay. I think even as a young adult I can still rebel against low expectations.

You won't be disappointed in getting this book! :D

for all young people

All teens and young people, and those who work with young people should read this book.
