In December 1999, we learned that the teenage killers specifically targeted Rachel Scott and mocked her Christian faith on their chilling, homemade videotapes. Rachel Scott died for her faith. Now her parents talk about Rachel's life and how they have found meaning in their daughter's martyrdom in the aftermath of the school shooting. "Rachel's Tears" comes from a heartfelt need to celebrate this young girl's life, to work through the grief and the questions of a nation, and to comfort those who have been touched by violence in our schools today. Using excerpts and drawings from Rachel's own journals, her parents offer a spiritual perspective on the Columbine tragedy and provide a vision of hope for preventing youth violence across the nation.

This is an encouraging book of a young girl sold out for God. The wake of her death opened up the world of her spiritual life through her journals. There was so much depth to this young woman, expressed through her poetry, artwork and letters to God. Her death at a young age proved that many others would come to Christ through her example.

A very, very sad story, yet a very influential one. The columbine massacre is not usually told in this way (from a victims family perspective). It was full of un expected surprises. Anybody interested in the topic who wants to read abnout it from another perspective should go out and buy this straight away, it's great.

A truly inspirational story of teenager Rachel Scott murdered for her faith in Jesus Christ. An extraordinary girl, she lived out her faith at school and everywhere she could, telling others of the good news til she paid the highest price anyone could ever pay. This book recaps her life and talks to family and friends about what made the teen so special. I found it very moving
