Rachel's Tears by Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott

Rachel’s Tears
Ten Years After Columbine Rachel Scott’s Faith Lives On.
By Beth NImmo and Darrell Scott
One life can make a difference. One life did make a difference. One life is still making a difference. The message of Rachel Scott’s life and death is inspiring as well as tragic. The energetic, kind, and loving teen depicted within these pages was wise beyond her years. She learned early in her short life to depend on God for guidance. Preferring to not “fit in” to a particular clique or group in her high school, even the prayer group, she opened herself up to be able to reach anyone within her reach. There was no person who was beyond her sphere of influence.
This book is deeply personal. Many of her journal entries and drawings are published here give a close look into Rachel’s very soul. I was struck with the entries that spoke of how much she desired to impact the world. Through her life and death she has reached millions.
The message her parents bring through the pages of “Rachel’s Tears – 10 Years After Columbine, Rachel Scott’s Faith Lives On” is foremost that forgiveness is key in going forward after such life-altering events. “Forgiveness is not pardon…” was one statement that stood out to me. I appreciate the dedication Rachel’s parents and siblings have to minister to the teenagers of our world with the message of making a difference. This was a great book!
