Do Hard Things : A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations, by Alex & Brett Harris

The concept is VERY good. The execution of the book is massively flawed, however, in that it seems to presume that all Christian teens [should] feel precisely the same on all social and political issues. [Disclaimer: by and large, I disagree with most of those political points of view.] As many books like this are, it's also incredibly didactic.

Still, there are nuggets of goodness here that I agree with: teens have a great deal going for them that society as a whole prefers to repress--at worst--or discount. I'm still trying to figure out if there is a way to salvage the main point to present as a series of Sunday School or youth group topics.
