Do Hard Things

Doesn’t that sound like fun? “No, not to me,” will be the answer most young adults will give you and, for that fact, most adults. Who wants to do hard things? Answer: The man or woman who has surrendered his or her life to Christ! The man or woman who has heard God’s call on his or her life! Sometimes, we are reluctant to follow and answer the call, sometime we are enthusiastic, sometimes seemingly small things become big challenges and sometimes big things get accomplished when we collaborate with others. When God starts working in you, through you and with you, things start happening and your life starts counting for something. Isn’t that something we all want? Few young people today realize, as the Harris brothers have, that it takes hard work, concentration, and real, serious effort, sometimes to the point of exhaustion, to make things happen. But that’s where the real life is to be found and Christ is in the midst of it. “Do hard Things” is a must read for young and old. It’s never too late to get started, or is it? I have looked for, but not found, the commandment in the Bible “And when you are 65 thou shalt retire!” It’s just not there. The Harris brothers are a remarkable team, their entire family included. Catch the fire! I don’t care if you are 15 or 65. Just get moving, read the book, and do hard things.

Minute Boys Series

Need an entertaining, exciting and adventure-full book or two for those “hard-to-find-a-book-for” boys? Well, I would have to say, Minute Boys of Lexington and Minute Boys of Bunker Hill are great picks! Minute Boys of Lexington begins the short series and starts the reader out back in the year 1775, and Minute Boys of Bunker Hill takes them through 1777.
Following the rousing exploits of Roger Morse and his friends, your little readers will learn true History and at the same time the importance of such virtues as, the love of liberty, courage in the face of danger, fierce determination, honesty, loyalty, integrity and much more. Follow those young men as they run right into the face of battle, fight hand-to-hand with the British, rescue their friends, save the day and get into the next exciting and dangerous predicament.
This two-part series also includes a Built-In Vocabulary Glossary of some 650+ words and definitions for those knowledge-bound homeschoolers. Each word is cross-referenced to its page number so that the kids can see how it is used in the paragraph or sentence.

Excerpt from Minute Boys of Lexington:

Roger’s heart almost stopped beating…. What was this the British officers were saying? They were going to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock and place them under military arrest! The two greatest men, politically, the colonies at that time knew!
“It must not be,” thought the boy. “I must tell Captain Parker, - everybody. Somebody must know where Mr. Adams and Mr. Hancock are stopping tonight, and warn them to seek a place of safety. And the militia and minutemen must be on guard, too, against the troop General Gage is going to send from Boston. That surprise must not be all on one side!”
With bated breath he was on the point of slipping back into the kitchen, when he felt a cold, bony hand on his collar. Wheeling about, he found himself face to face with a soldier.
