Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. We do. -- Alex and BrettA 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. And Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge.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. Then they map out five powerful ways teens can respond for personal and social change.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 an already-happening teen revolution challenges a generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.Follow Alex & Brett Onlinewww.TheRebelution.comFrom the Hardcover edition.

As a person who helps lead youth, I liked the idea of a book that encourages youth to rebel against low expectations. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything particularly helpful or useful in this book. It seemed to be challenging teens to rebel against low expectations around things like morality or laziness, rather than challenging them to tackle the larger injustices of the world. The book is more than 10 years old, so it might just be out of date.
