 2008-07-15 - Young or Old..Join the Rebelution
This is a great book that really challenges the way you think and the way you live. This is a book that causes you to get up and do something. In a world of low expectations, I'm OK you're OK, whatever, I don't know I don't care, and endless mindnumbing entertainment with the click of a mouse.... this is indeed a refreshing book. Read it as a family or with 2 other friends and DO HARD THINGS together.
2008-07-14 - Excellent resource to challenge teens to greatness
We are using this book as our study guide with a group of 13-18 year olds. Written by teenagers, it addresses their thinking directly without pandering or talking over or down to them. The Study Guide, available for free on the website, had very good questions to lead small groups. The book and the study guide make very good base materials to lead small groups.
2008-07-09 - Help your kids start a Rebelution
I bought this book for my 15 year old grandson, and of course I previewed it to make sure I knew the book would be a positive influence. I can only say I wish I'd had this book to give to my son 25 years ago. Shoot! I wish someone had told me I COULD choose to do hard things that would set the precedent for my entire life.
The book is written (with help, I suspect-but maybe not) by teens for teens, but is not dumbed-down. I pray adults who see the enuii in our kids will use this book to encourage and help to inspire them to Do Hard Things. You can download the FREE (Did I say FREE??) study guide on the Rebelution website, and the blog gives me hope for the future leaders of this nation and this world. Do the Hard Thing--buy this for your teen and then encourage him/her to read it. Then give our kids the tools they need to practice and see the principles are true! They CAN do those things they never dreamed they could...
2008-07-08 - Mom's review
I bought the book for my son, but read it myself and it was very good. I am totally against the self esteem movement. These guys have pinpointed one of the major problems with that movement (low expectations). Now I just need to push my son to finish reading it, but he's too busy doing hard things.
2008-07-05 - Every Teen's Challenge
This is a book written by two teen boys who have excelled in so many ways and challenge their teen readers to do the same by taking work seriously and accepting that challenge as a blessing! I gave this to my graduating grandson. I wish every graduate could have a copy!
