ALEX & BRETT HARRIS
Alex and Brett (or "The Twins") are juniors at Patrick Henry College. At 22 years old they are among the most widely read teen writers on the Web. They have been featured nationally on MSNBC, CNN, NPR, and The New York Times, as well as in publications like WORLD magazine, Breakaway, and Ignite Your Faith. Their first book, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations, is the best-selling Youth Ministry and Christian Young Adult title in the country.
Alex & Brett have grown up in a ministry household. Their father, Gregg Harris, is a well-known homeschool author and speaker, teaching elder at Household of Faith Community Church (Gresham), and director of Noble Institute for Leadership Development. Their mother, Sono Harris (1954-2010), was an accomplished speaker and successful speech coach. Their older brother, Joshua Harris, is a bestselling author, speaker, and senior pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD.
Following in the footsteps of their older family members Alex & Brett are speaking out for God with a message to their own generation. They desire to see young people set free from the lies of our culture and fulfilling what history and God's word says teens are capable of. Their hope is that The Do Hard Things Tour will act as a catalyst for thousands of teens nationwide to wake up and catch fire for God, country and family.
