Reading these posts, I’m amazed to see so many other teens doing such amazing things! After starting (I’m rushing to finish it!) your book, it was like my eyes were opened to so many opportunities just waiting for me to take them!
I’m home-schooled, and, although I love it, sometimes I wonder if it’s holding me back. I’m throwing away those doubts now; you guys have changed my life!
God bless,
Christy

I’ve read Do Hard Things- twice! I can’t believe it! I’ve never read a christian book this good. I can’t wait to do some hard things! I agree with you Daniel- it has definitely changed my life and my view of my teen years. When i turned thirteen, a friend said “I feel so sorry for you”. When I asked why, she said, ” Because teen years are the worst!” I couldn’t believe it! Guess who I’m recommending Do Hard Things to? I’ m sssooo glad I read the book?! I may be home- schooled, but if God wants me to do some hard things, he’ll find a way!

I have not read the book, but heard about the book on focus on the family.It really inspired me to start doing things at my school. I am a very shy person and often keeps things to myself. When it comes to leading I am at the back of the room, not wanting to lead anything. There is an event going on called acquire the fire and many people at my school are going. The other night i was just thinking to myself, what about the people that can’t go, the people that want to go and experince god’s goodness but can’t. So right now in the works is Aquire the fire for Klein Oak! I just want to bring god into my school so he can reveal himself to his children and show them how great he is and all his blessings. Can’t wait to read the book!

All these comments and stories are really awesome,I just think it’s sweet for people to care enough to do something about stuff. I just started reading the book today (The Rebelution) I personally think that it’s the best book I’ve read all year and probably next year,I think that this book should encourage all teenagers to make a difference.At my school,Bartels Middle School,we are raising money,and I joined this program to help autistic children.I am one of the head leaders of the program,and I helped 31 autistic children in my school,played with them,talked to them…Lots of kids made fun of me,but I ignored them and stood up for the autistic kids.I mean,I don’t get why people hurt (verbally)each other,we are all the same….it would be nice if more kids did stuff to help others.
Thanks for reading this!Love the comments!!

I am seventeen and I am in the middle of reading Do Hard Things, and have never felt so convicted and passionate about going all out for my Savior. Now that I have discovered this whole new world online of people who have this mindset also, I feel so relieved, like I am not the only one. But I am public schooled and when I go to school it’s like I can’t explain to my peers my excitement and urge to rise up out of this rut. I feel like everyone around me is in. All I hear just sitting in my class room are countless stories on how drunk people got the night before, or how many tickets they’ve gotten for speeding, or how much they can’t stand their parents. Maybe its just that they feel the same way as me and are holding it in. I just feel like I need to get people on the same page. I don’t know how. I am so pumped for what God has in store for me, and it is awesome to see all of the stories of God sparking passion in so many hearts!
