Do Hard Things
Jackpot! I have been reading the book “Do Hard Things” by Alex & Brett Harris. A couple of my students read it, and have started a small group and several other projects as a result. I needed to catch up with them. A couple of things:
First, this book is very encouraging and inspirational. It is a call to discipleship from teens to teens. Personally I have benefited from it as well.
Second, a potent quotable:
Letting fear control your actions is a statement of distrust in the goodness of God. If we allow fear to paralyze us, we’ll look back at our life with remorse for all the times we could have and should have–but did not.(77-78)
Good stuff. I love it so far. I especially like the variety of ways that Alex and Brett challenge their readers to be excellent and diligent. They cover the bases of the personal, familial, societal, relational, spiritual and intellectual.
Thanks, Alex and Brett. Keep it up!
May the Lord’s will be done,
