Amazon Bestseller: Do Hard Things

In late-breaking proud-older-brother news, Do Hard Things, written by my brothers Alex and Brett, spent yesterday climbing the charts on amazon.com. As Brett wrote last night, "20 minutes left for the day and we've reached #5 overall and #1 bestselling Christian book on Amazon.com. We're #2 in Religion & Spirituality behind "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle."

Yesterday's spike in sales is thanks to an organized "Amazon book bomb." What is that? Read about it here.

The book is available April 15. I'm really excited to get this into the hands of the teens our church. Here's the endorsement I wrote for the book:

When someone tells you that his younger brothers wrote an incredible book, he's either just being nice because they're family, or he really means it. Well, I am not just being nice, I mean it. This book is excellent. And I can commend it to you because my brothers' love for Christ and personal example back up the message.

Do Hard Things is easy to read, but it will challenge you to the core. It is inspiring, insightful and practical. Alex and Brett show that the teenage years are not a season to endure, but a time to excel and to grow. Then they show you how.

Parents, this book won't keep your teenagers out of trouble. It will get them into the right kind of trouble—the kind that comes when they dream, take risks for God and dare to flaunt the status quo. Put it in their hands. Read it yourself. Every former teen needs this book, too. I know I do. It's never to late to do hard things.
