Product Description The next generation stands on the brink of a “rebelution”
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.
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.

Mom's review July 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Every Teen's Challenge July 5, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a book written by two teen boys who have excelled in so many ways and challenge their teen readers to do the same by taking work seriously and accepting that challenge as a blessing! I gave this to my graduating grandson. I wish every graduate could have a copy!
A Must Read July 5, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
These boys have been given great insight. I must assume their parents put in the time and effort to parent well. America needs the generation this book could generate. Any age could be inspired to live outstanding lives with the chance to bring Glory to God. Read it and do a hard thing!
excellent wake up call to adults and teens July 1, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
we really have to embrace the message of this book. we have all been robbed of much through the culturally promoted "kick back, do nothing but live and let live years" of teenagerism. I am very thankful for the book and its message.
Just what we need July 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
How do we put our kids on the right path? We let them try hard things. We expect more. We want them to be bold in the right direction. This book tells about some high achievers, but it's good for everyone. So many children (and adults) schlepp through life trying nothing and achieving nothing, living a life of unsatisfying ease. This book encourages us to launch out. Do something good. Dream. Do something hard, difficult, challenging, complicated, frustrating. Work it out. Don't give up. Stay up late. Sacrifice. You wind up with a peace of mind, a satisfaction with yourself, confidence in your life.
