*this book was provided by Blogging for Books for the purpose of review.ĭo Hard Things, by Alex and Brett Harris, is an incredible book. I definitely recommend this book and our whole family is reading it together so that we would all be willing to do those hard things that the Lord has laid before us. They break down their thoughts with lots of anecdotes and real life examples - that make sense to young and older, alike.Īlthough this book was meant for teens, I think it's certainly a book that those of any age can be challenged with. The book is relatable and readable, like a conversation with friends that have seen what can happen when you trust God and step out in faith. I especially appreciate how it's not a merely a book that cheers you on and to be the best you can be - out of your own strength, but rather it's basis is in living for the glory of God - 1 Corinthians 10:31. I love this book - although it's certainly not perfect but because it challenges this complacent attitude that is so prevalent. Again and again, sullen attitudes, disrespect, or aimlessness seems commonplace and the acceptable because it's what teenagers are like. It's acceptable to not make series choices or to not pursue hard things. Now, 5 years later, it seems the complacent life style that many teens were living continues and perhaps has even gotten worse. The Harris brothers were young teens who were challenging the the way teens were living or expecting to live. I first heard of this book when it first came on the scene.
