Great Book for Teens June 4, 2008
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I've worked with teens for forty years, and I've noticed that we expect less from them now than we used to. It's reflected in the way we treat them, the way we talk to them, even the way we teach them. We dumb things down for them and insist that learning must be fun. Alex and Brett refuse to accept that view of their generation. They founded TheRebultion.com, and today the are among the most widely read teen writers on the web.
In Do Hard Things, they urge teens to accept challenges, and resist limitations established by others as to what they can accomplish. The emphasis here is on becoming everything God intended you to be, and it's a great book for teens. Recommended.
A MUST READ ! June 4, 2008

I bought this book expecting great things. Alex and Brett delivered! It is easy to read and yet it gives you much to think about. Every teen should read this. And we adults should read it...for I feel many of us are the victims of some mistaken ideas about teens and their capablilites!
Read it adults...and then buy one for all the teens in your life...or for those "kidults" you know!
A passionate call for purpose! June 2, 2008

Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris is a passionate cry against the low expectations of our society today, especially to teenagers. There have been many other books with similar messages but few are specifically written to teens. This a much needed message!
Another thing I especially like about this book is that it is unashamedly Christian. However, the Harris brothers don't waste space trying to argue you into their beliefs, they simply show the beauty and awesomeness of being dedicated to such a great God.
Heartily recommend Do Hard Things to anyone!

Excellent. Thought provoking and challenging to young people. Also provides a good frame of referencec and perspective for parents of teenagers in terms of raising them with stretch and challenge in mind... for both their earthly acheivements as well as their spiritual growth, development, and maturity.
