Rachel's Tears: 10 Years After Columbine...Rachel Scott Lives On New Addition!
By Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott with Steve Rabey
Forward by Chuck Norris

"I am not going to apologize for speaking the name of Jesus . . . If I have to sacrifice everything . . . I will." –Rachel Scott

The Columbine tragedy in April 1999 pierced the heart of our country. We later 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.

Silence Shattered
by Heidi Johnson

Writing a book must be a hard thing to do, and for a 19 year old girl to write about something so horrifying must be even harder. I picked up Heidi's book from our church, and couldn't put it down. I've read alot of books on Columbine and all are good. This is no exception. Although it is short, I like that, as it doesn't take long to read and doesn't overstate things twice. I like how Heidi has it set up, with her life before Columbine, the shootings themselves, and her life now afterwards. It is a personal account, and perhaps can help some people who are still dealing with it come to terms with it, or at least make it more of a reality. It gets one inside the head of a survivor who was there and makes all that we heard on the news and saw in the papers come alive. You should read this book if you were at all affected by Columbine!

Lessons From Littleton
by Brian Brody

A great book on the subject of parenting. A must read for every parent raising a teen!

This book should be every parent's Bible on parenting. It taught us how to set up a system in our home for our "out of control" teenage daughter, where she plainly knew the rewards and consequences of her behavior. For once our lives were more manageable and less stressful. Today she is happily married with a daughter of her own. Thanks, Dr. Brody".

Day of Reckoning:
Columbine and the Search for America's Soul
by Wendy Murray Zoba

In Day of Reckoning, Wendy Murray Zoba vividly recounts the horrible events of April 20, 1999, and powerfully dissects controversies that still swirl in the aftermath of the Columbine High School shootings. Based on on-site visits and scores of interviews with survivors and parents and friends of victims, her book gives unforgettable voice to the persons whose lives were most directly affected by the Columbine massacre.

In the frenzy after the Columbine tragedy, many of us missed the real story. Wendy Murray Zoba's sure-footed coverage unearths a cast of young heroes in the center of an irreducibly religious narrative. I think readers will discover a revealing, sober, but mostly inspiring book that lays bare the American soul.
