Read a great book over the summer called “Do Hard Things” by Alex and Brett Harris. They are teenagers.
In the book, they point out that the term teenager is a fairly new term and the idea that teens should be in a loafing stage in life is also a fairly new concept. They point out that Clara Barton was teaching school in her teens and others who did similar.
Their book is excellent and I may start a small group reading and discussion group based upon it. (Let me know if you are interested).
It challenges youth to start doing things productive even in their teen years. Don’t wait for tomorrow and when you are no longer a teen, you are the church of today.
There are certainly many things to think about in the book. If you get a change I encourage and urge you to read it.
Feel free to post your thoughts of the book and/or it’s concepts.
