I'm very excited! I just bought Alex and Brett Harris' new book, Start Here. It's a "sequel" to their first book called Do Hard Things. (Check out 'The Rebelution' link -> ) The book Do Hard Things is about teenagers rebelling against low expectations. Because its true isn't it? No one expects much from us teens. We're not expected to be able to carry on a normal conversation with an adult. We're expected to be focused on drugs, sex, and alcohol. We aren't expected to want ANYTHING to do with our families, specifically our parents.
That's just pathetic! I know plenty of teenagers (including me) who can and will carry on interesting conversations with adults. I know plenty of teenagers (including me) who aren't involved in or focused on drugs, sex, or alcohol. I know plenty of teenagers (once again, including me) who love their families and love to spend time with them. But you know whats so funny? It always, always, always, shocks people. Parents who have rebellious teens are stunned when they see even just one teenager who loves the Lord, is respectful, and smart.
If you haven't read "Do Hard Things" or "Start Here," I highly recommend that you do (:
