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.

Great book-lots to think about December 16, 2008
Book provides good insight into some successful teens and how greater responsibility/higher expectations brings out their best. Highly recommend for teenages and those who work with them.
 Good, but not what I expected December 5, 2008
I picked up this book hoping it would speak to me as a parent struggling to help my child see that TV, video games and paintball aren't all life has to offer. But it truly is a book written by teens for teens.
What impressed me most about the book were the true-to-life stories. Christian advice books too often rely on anonymous or fabricated people. You never know whether the author is simply trying to make a point, or truly is telling a real story.
I think a book aimed at parents would be a next logical step for these authors. I simply don't know how to motivate my child to do more than he is asked to do and to do it with passion and dedication. I know that he has to have his own inner motivation, and this book is the sort that could set that in motion, but I wonder if there is a way for a parent to nudge a child as well.
I would recommend. December 2, 2008
As a 26 year old I found this book very motivational. Although it is written to teens it may be a little too dry for some. You have to get through the first 2 chapters.
The concepts in this book are a must know for all teens and parents of teens. I would recommend this book. I am hoping to get the DVD of the seminar itself.
Excellent Book - Wonderful Insights November 30, 2008
This book is an outstanding encouragement for kids who are floundering and trying to find their way in a world that doesn't think they can do much for themselves or for others. My six kids will all read this book!
