For everyone who wonders what to do with themselves. For anyone who wonders what they are accomplishing. For those that believe they could be doing more. This book by Alex and Brett Harris is for them.
I read Do Hard Things when it came out and this book is the natural, and perfect, follow-up to that. Written for teens by teens, this book was a simple and fast read, complete with chapter discussion questions and a whole section of hard things to get people's creativity started.
My favorite part of their style is that they keep the focus on God and what He is doing. And they highlight success and failure, noting that not all hard things are meant to be done when we first conceive them. This guidebook, for that is what it is, will give teens, and others, a very realistic view of what doing hard things will take.
It just may be my hard thing to convince my youth group to undertake reading this book and acting on it.
"Doing hard things for Christ is one of the primary ways we can glorify Him. Why is that? Because if we restrict ourselves to what comes easily, avoid sacrifices, and limit our relationship with God to Sunday mornings, we're showing the world how little we value Him. When we're willing to take risks, pursue excellence, dream big, be faithful, and do what's right no matter the cost, our actions shout that Christ is worth serving above all others."
It is my hope that as this generation takes on this goal, all of the other generations, younger and older, will do the same. That would be a hard thing worth seeing done.
