I am currently reading a book entitled “Do Hard Things.” This is a book written by twin brothers, who were 18 years old at the time they wrote the book. They challenge young people to rethink the teen years. The majority of teens are satisfied with mediocre production, because that’s all that’s been required of them. Some teens have been made to think they are exceptional, because unlike their peers, they do NOT participate in some sinful behaviors. While that it is all well and good, simply the absence of evil does not make one exceptional. These young authors, Alex and Brett Harris, challenge teens to aim higher than that – get out of their comfort zone, do not be satisfied with meeting mediocre expectations, and make a determination to accomplish great things. The authors are not members of the church of Christ, and so please keep that it mind if you read the book.
Thanks so much for posting about this book! It’s a wonderful book that I’ve been recommending to everyone. I was blessed to be able to attend the Colorado conference a few months ago as well. I really agree with their message.
