Recently I was directed to a website that has the blogs, booklists, and speaking schedule of 19 year old twin brothers Alex and Brett Harris. Their older brother is Joshua Harris (I Kissed Dating Goodbye, Boy Meets Girl). They are in college, but have traveled world-wide speaking to missions conferences.
They wrote a book together titled "Do Hard Things". It is a challenge to young men and women to find a place of service and ministry in the world, wherever one may be. Part of it's premise is that our modern society in the USA does not really have a place for young people to make significant contributions until they have finished college.
It is amazing what Alex and Brett have on their site, from the books they've read, those they plan to read, the movies they've seen, and their commitment to the Lord and walking worthy of Him. You can find excerpts from the book posted, as well as some videos about going off to college and other issues. These men have what Dr. Howard Hendricks refers to as "the real disease" when it comes to passion for the Lord's work!
I am thoroughly impressed by what I've seen and experienced here. They are where I want to be as a Christian, and where I pray many young Christians want to be, as well!! These are some guys we could use as spiritual heroes and models... and again, they are nineteen, and college Freshmen!
