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 Brett

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
An inspiring read for teens and young adults!I enjoyed it so much that I gave this as a graduation gift to members of my church.
Rating: - Prepare to be challenged
Written by 2 teenage twin brothers for teens and those who love teens.
I highly recommend this book for:
parents to read with their tweens and teens.
jr high & high school caregivers/ bible studies
teenagers who need to claim the world around them.
Rating: - AWESOME
As a homeschool mom of nine, I am very impressed by Alex and Brett Harris.Their parents has blessed the homeschool community for years and these young men are good fruit.I was personally challenged by the message in this book, and we plan to make it a family read aloud this summer. This book will be a powerful tool for Christian families, not only homeschoolers. I would love to get it into the hands of every young person I know.
