    <![CDATA[The next generation stands on the brink of a &#8220;rebelution&#8221;<br/><br/>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 &#8220;do hard things&#8221; for the glory of God.<br/><br/>Written when they were 18 years old, <em>Do Hard Things</em> is the Harris twins&#8217; 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.<br/><br/>Written by teens for teens, <em>Do Hard Things </em>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.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong></strong>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a great read, both for parents of preteens and teens, and people of any age wondering what next steps they could take in their life.  I read it as much with an eye towards my own future as that of my sons.  The teen authors challenge the current concept of teens as young people who are ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42551586">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's a fairly well-known fact that not much is expected of young people nowadays. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is known as a very impressive lady just because she doesn't do a lot of the things that other teenagers do. I'm praised, but rarely challenged.

    <![CDATA[The next generation stands on the brink of a &#8220;rebelution&#8221;<br/><br/>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 &#8220;do hard things&#8221; for the glory of God.<br/><br/>Written when they were 18 years old, <em>Do Hard Things</em> is the Harris twins&#8217; 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.<br/><br/>Written by teens for teens, <em>Do Hard Things </em>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.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong></strong>]]>

    <![CDATA[The next generation stands on the brink of a &#8220;rebelution&#8221;<br/><br/>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 &#8220;do hard things&#8221; for the glory of God.<br/><br/>Written when they were 18 years old, <em>Do Hard Things</em> is the Harris twins&#8217; 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.<br/><br/>Written by teens for teens, <em>Do Hard Things </em>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.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong></strong>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<strong>* A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations* </strong><br/> This  book was written by teens for teens and written very well at that! It was just as good as I'd heard it to be and maybe even better.
