My review:

Thanks to Random House for providing me with a copy of the book 'Start Here' for review. Alex and Brett do a great job of answering the question 'Now what?' after challenging the teens of their generation in 'Do Hard Things' with 'Start Here'. The book is short, but full of great ideas of getting young people moving right where God has them now. They remind the young people that the 'hard things' aren't always big and spectacular with lots of pomp - as the world sees, but can be seemingly small, insignificant actions - which the world would hardly notice, but will have lasting impact on the Kingdom. If you enjoyed 'Do Hard Things', and have some questions - this is a great book to help you plow up the ground and dig for the hard thing the Lord has for you.
