This book keeps getting more and more fascinating! The achievements that these two young boys have made in their lifetime really inspires me to want to be as successful as them; not for my own glory, but for God's glory. I also love how this book gives ways to do "hard things" like this book displays examples of. Some books tell you that you should become a better person, but they don't lay out the steps you should take to become that person.
They provided six ways to guide the "rebelutionaries" who want to take a stand. The first one is "start with the Bible". This one seems simple enough, yet many people just forget to read their Bible all together. They may be a strong Christian because they attend church events, but if they don't read the Bible then they can't get God's word daily. The second one is "examine yourself", which is a good one because first we need to make sure we are strong enough in our faith to start taking a stand and doing hard things. The third is "listen to your conscience" a conscience is something that everybody is born with, whether they believe in God or not. This is something that God has instilled in our minds that gives us our common sense and morals. The next step is to "seek godly counsel". Seeking this kind of counsel could be from a pastor, a youth pastor or even a close Christian friend. Recieving other peoples' advice on certain things can help you get a clear picture of what the situation really looks like. The fifth is "be humble, loving, and bold". These are three characteristics that are great to possess whether you are trying to take a stand or not. The last guide is :be part of the solution". This step stumped me for a while as I tried to think of what it actually meant. I came up with the idea that this was saying you should be a part of the solution instead of part of a problem.
