Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris

It's just what it says. It challenges young people to get out of the mindset that work is bad, that the teenage years are for freeloading. I found it very inspiring! In my need to be balanced, I wished that it would have mentioned more that as Christians, we are called to do amazing things, yes, but that God gives the guidance as to what those are, and God gives the strength to do them well. But the truth is, many young people already have so much energy and enthusiasm and capabilities, it's just mis-directed. Alex & Brett challenge us to do things that are going to develop character and help others.

The Last Sin Eater by Francine Rivers

Such a good story... and also so inspiring. Amazing.

"Seems to me, it's pure selfishness that brings us within hearing distance of the truth, and then God has his way with us, don't he? He knows the ones already that'll come looking for him, and he even lights the way. It all begins and ends with him. So I reckon God's going to get done whatever he wants done."

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

I found this very interesting... though I couldn't read too much of it at once because it was overwhelming to think of it being real.
