10 Years After Columbine, Rachel Scott's Faith Lives on

Rachel's Tears

"I am not going to apologize for speaking the Name of Jesus, I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put into me. If I have to sacrifice everything ... I will." "This will be my last year Lord. I have gotten what I can. Thank you." Excerpts From Rachel's Journals Rachel Scott was a typical teenage girl who was incredibly dedicated to following and serving Christ. Though she was mocked for her beliefs, at times doubted her faith, and constantly struggled with personal issues every teenager faces, she remained faithful to God. Then on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School, she was killed for that faith. Rachel's Tears is a moving meditation on the life, death, and faith of Rachel as seen through the eyes of her parents and through writings and drawings from her journals. Her parents also offer a spiritual perspective on the Columbine tragedy and provide a vision of hope for preventing youth violence across the nation.

The Spiritual Journey of Columbine Martyr Rachel Scott

Heaven Adore

I've been wanting to read this book for a long time, so I immediately picked it up when I saw it at Half Price Books a couple of weeks ago. Ah, her life is such an inspiration. Though she was just a normal teen girl, her passion and desire for God was visible no matter where she went. I feel like her life's moto was Matthew 5:16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 

I loved reading the journal entries of her that were sprinkled throughout. I am SO encouraged to live my life even more sold out for Christ and allow Him to be the center of everything I do. Tomorrow is not promised, but every day is another chance to bring God glory.

Rachael’s Tears is one of the most insightful books I’ve read. It brings a lot of hope, peace, and self-reflection to the reader. It’s inspiring, impactful, and a must-read!
