Presentation
Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to be talking about in this book. And even if you understand it, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to act on it. And even if you act on it, they don't expect it to last. We are not one of those people. - Alex and Brett Harris
A generation is on the verge of making its Rebellution . A movement of young people who rebel against the low expectations of the surrounding culture and who choose to take up challenges for the glory of God is gaining momentum. Alex and Brett Harris are the spearheads.
Generation challenge is the revolutionary message of the Harris twins in its purest and most compelling form. This book gives readers a tangible glimpse into what can be accomplished by teens who actively oppose lies intended to limit their potential.
In combating the idea that adolescence equates to a vacation away from responsibility, the authors combine biblical and historical data with modern examples to provide a new definition of adolescence which they see as the l launch pad for life. They then describe five effective ways to respond so that real personal and social change can take place. Written by teens for teens, Generation Challenge is loaded with personal and fun anecdotes, practical examples and stories of genuine rebellutionaries in action. This rallying cry springs from the heart of a movement whose revolution has already begun and it invites a whole generation to claim a brighter future which begins today.
