The word teenager was invented in a Reader's Digest Mag. Two years ago I found the book "Do Hard Things" at Book-a-Million and my dad bought it for me with a deal. I would read it and then let him and my sister's read it also. I said yes. Then a month afterward I went to a christian family camp and the teens were doing a study on Do Hard Things. After that I joined the blog.
It's been so neat to follow Brett and Harris on their blog.

Hey, girls,

I apologize for not properly introducing you to Alex & Brett Harris of The Rebelution. It all started the summer they were 16. They were bored, so their Dad put them on an intense reading regimen—biographies, doctrine, theology, sociology.

One book, especially, rocked their worlds: “The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century” by Thomas Freidman. They realized through that book that different ways of living the teen years lead to different results. They were like, “We have to tell the teens!”

So, they started a blog, and called it “The Rebelution”: A teenage rebellion against low expectations. God then gave them an incredible opportunity to not just talk about their message, but to live it through an internship with the Alabama Supreme Court.

Anyway, God just continued to bless and grow this movement. The guys started doing conferences, and they wrote a book last year titled “Do Hard Things.” You can check out their website here—it’s great! http://www.therebelution.com/
