It’s been a transition in the sense that we went from travelling and speaking and writing to classes and the same schedule every week. So is college a “hard thing”? Has it been a difficult transition?īRETT: College is a challenge in a good way we feel like we’ve been challenged academically, spiritually, relationally. Our brains are happy and we’re learning a lot. We felt like we both used up our life experiences writing DHT, so we wanted to go to school in order to gain that depth and breadth. But the biggest thing right now is we’re now in college we’re freshmen at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia. Basically we’re taking the input we’re receiving back from the young people who have read it, the questions they have, the obstacles they’ve run into, the stories they have to share and being able to respond to that, clarify, and take them to the next level. We’re 20 now, and continue to do conferences and speak and are also beginning to work on a companion book for DHT. It’s been a very crazy, exciting year since the book came out.
What have you been up to since you published DHT? Do you have another book coming?ĪLEX: We’ve done a lot of traveling, speaking, interviews. I have to tell y’all as a parent that I loved your book. (And I know I should correct my usage of the word y'all, but we were right here in Texas!) And those who persevere will be rewarded with a chance to win Alex & Brett's brand-new book, Start Here. (They did have a bag of chips, which will make an appearance toward the end of the interview when I probe deep into their lives!) It's a fairly long interview, but it's too good to skip even a portion, so grab a cup of your favorite brew and be prepared to be encouraged by these incredibly mature young men.
(My review is here.) It was a phenomenal book, so when I had the opportunity to interview Alex and Brett, I was thrilled! Our conversation was their last appointment before dinner but they were gracious and patient. I discovered Alex and Brett Harris' book Do Hard Things a couple of years ago through its blog tour. When I pulled this one up, it made me smile again! I've still been hoarding holding on to a couple of interviews from last year's Book Expo. Please email me your address no later than this Saturday at 10:00 pm CDT and I'll send it your way! Congrats to Julia whose comment was chosen by to win a copy of this book.
