ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
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. 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.

USER REVIEWS
"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"The teenage years are arguably the most crucial and impressionable years of one's life. A person's future can often be decided by decisions made during this period. Many come undone while others go on to greatness. Teenagers need advice and guidance to set themselves up early for a happy and prosperous future.
Do Hard Things urges teenagers to push themselves, expand their boundaries, go after goals, resist limitations imposed upon them by others. We should all have this mindset, but teens need this advice even moreso.
Excellent book. Highly recommend.
