Rachel's Tears

I want to end this month with another encouraging page...

I want to briefly talk about a special book which touched my heart and has given me a great deal of inspiration. I have read it through two times, and I occasionally open it up at random to read several pages. 
 
The name of the book is RACHEL'S TEARS: The Spiritual Journey of Columbine Martyr Rachel Scott (Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, Tennessee, @2000). 

This book was written by Rachel's parents, Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott. And as most people probably know, Rachel was a young woman who was one of thirteen people who lost their lives when two other students entered the Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and opened fire on their classmates. Both of the gunmen also died. 

This happened on April 20, 1999. Almost everyone knows the facts. I don't think anyone knows all the reasons. It was a tragedy. But once again, God's hands of love have moved in this situation, and He has already brought many good things out of this sad event. ​

Rachel's parents have, with God's gentle guidance, turned their grief into positive channels. It was also so obvious to me that Rachel's writings are anointed by the Holy Spirit.

From the outset of this tragedy, many other students at Columbine, plus people all over the world, have come to Christ for salvation as a result of all the sermons that have been preached. This book, in my opinion, is one of the most important books to be published. I would encourage others to read it. And there is also a website which was given in the back of the book: www.racheljoyscott.com
