I'm only supposed to read to chapter three tonight but I want to read soooo much more. I started checking out the site after chapter two :))) Although, the only tour in Florida this year, and only an hour away, has already passed :( But we're definitely looking forward to next year! Last year I nearly failed Freshman year in high school and, needless to say, I was that random short chick with her head down wearing a hoodie in 100 degree weather just hoping I wouldn't be noticed by the bullies of the school, or as I like to say "vultures" That was part of it at least. I was even considering dropping out this coming year. I've only read three chapters so far but now, I'm so pumped to start reading some high level books again and doing all my work to the best of my ability, and much more. I want to "do hard things" It's almost like I can feel the Holy Spirit coursing through my veins like adrenalin. Alex and Brett are amazing authors, and, to be honest, the minute I saw who had written the Foreward I knew it was going to be awesome >>; But then I realized, I'm sure half of the people who love Chuck Norris don't even know what he did to get all this fame, they just love him because everyone else does. I was kind of like that, but now that I know he's a christian, I love him for his inspirational words. I had no idea he had grown up like that. To be honest, I think I just assume people who are famous had rich parents or whatever. You know, "the good life" (although I'd strongly dislike it) Blegh I dislike all this fame and drama stuff. Anyway, Great book! ~Alex <3 The Leadership Team in my youth group(The H.O.O.D. : Helping Others Obtain Deliverance ^^ ) are reading Do Hard Things.

I definitely agree that it is very important to read books that challenge one to think deeply and perhaps to allow these books to help you think in ways that you never have before. Here's a short list of books that have radically changed me and caused me to think differently about life and, in some cases, strengthened my faith: The Reason for God, by Timothy Keller On Prayer: The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds Foxe's Book of Martyrs The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, by Chip and Dan Heath The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky Keep on fighting against the tide of low expectations, fellow Rebelutionaries! You all are such great encouragements! Great post!
