Narrated by: John Behrens, Jeff Durham, Deboral Seide, Karen Ireland

"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 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.

Photos and journal entries are included in the audiobook companion PDF download. Meets national education standards.

A Must Read

I loved the fact that I got to learn more about Columbine. I loved getting to know Rachel without really getting a chance to meet her.

Incredible testimony

I was deeply touched by this book and sealed in confirmation about how real God truly is! I’m so thankful for Rachel Joy’s parents sharing, each from their own experience, in this book. I’m so thankful that this world is just our temporary home. Though we’re long suffering in a world of spiritual warfare, God IS working & still in control. His Kingdom come, His will be done, He will always gets the victory. Ultimately ALL things work together for the good of those called according to His purpose. We mustn’t seek the world’s hopeless logic but instead seek God’s Word for His endless & limitless love. This book woke me up from a long slumber. I highly recommend it.

Great story! Hearing different sides of this tragedy is very interesting. started this book in high school finally finished it!

Life changing book

Be ready to be inspired to live an others-centered life instead of a self-centered one…to see the good in others and to treat them with the same love that Jesus shows us in the Bible. As a parent of a 12-year-old child, this has come at the perfect time in our lives. Thank you for this gift!
