Do Hard Things

I recently read a book called "Do Hard Things". Its about how teenagers have been given low expectations.
Drug abuse. Sex. Parties. Anything else you think a teenager does.

If you want to see the book, here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Do-Hard-Things-Rebellion-Expectations/dp/1601421125/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383597718&sr=8-1&keywords=do+hard+things

We all know some teens rebel against their parents. Instead, Do Hard Things is a book that helps teens rebel against low expectations. The authors, Alex and Brett Harris do an amazing job of showing other teens who've done hard things and encourage teens to do the same.
Alex and Brett say in the book that they believe that though teens are still in school and don't have many opportunities as adults do, the teen years are the best ones to prepare for adulthood.

Let's say you want to become a lawyer or judge. This is crude example, but say you had a fear of public speaking. Do you really believe that that fear will leave just because you will be an adult? Just being an adult doesn't mean you will have the ability to stand in front of a jury and present a case to the judge. Teens need to prepare for adulthood. It wouldn't be good if you didn't prepare for public speaking or tight deadlines if that's what your future job entails.

I loved this book so much that I bought the companion book, Start Here. http://www.amazon.com/Start-Here-Doing-Things-Right/dp/1601422709

And yes, I recommend this book highly. It will inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and not only do hard things, but do hard things for God.
