Book  Review:  Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris

Reviewed by Abigail Cicione

Do Hard Things was written by two homeschooled teens who are twin brothers.   They started a blog and then went on to write a book about rebelling against the low expectations our society has for adolescents.  Their book is filled with many real-life experiences of teens around the world (including Alex and Brett) that took the challenge of doing hard things.  This can be anything from schoolwork to serving the poor.  The countless examples describe what these teens did to rebel against low expectations, and how every one of them went above and beyond what they ever thought they could accomplish, and they succeeded.  We, as teenagers, stop when things feel hard and therefore miss out on the purpose and plan God has for our teen years.  However, Alex and Brett challenge us to conquer our fears and accomplish what God has planned for us.  There is so much of value in this book for teens that I highly recommend you read it.  You can also check out  Alex and Brett's website, therebelution.com.
