This book is the type that you just have to read, and then reread, and then reread. You always get something different the next time you read iti. Rache Joy Scott is shown as the ordinary human being trying to live in Gods perfect Will.
If your thinking about buying it...BUY IT!
Even if your not a christian, it will inspire you to live a better life and remind you of the biggest risk we take....
NO one is promised tomorrow.
 Rachel's Tears May 23, 2006

Rachel's Tears is a wonderful book! It is about a girl named Rachel Scott who was a victim in the Columbine High School killing. Two boys killed 12 students, one teacher, and finally themselves. When they were about to kill Rachel they asked her if she believed in Jesus and she said yes. A while after she was killed, her parents found about six journals full of letters, drawings, and her thoughts. Her spiritual relationship with Jesus was so great that He told and showed her how and when she was going to die. Before she was killed she referred to Columbine as the "Halls of a Tragedy". Even after her death she is still impacting the world.

I got this book from the local library. It is the most unforgetable book I have ever read. I could'nt put it down. Rachel had an a wonderfully deep relationship with God. One of the things that I learned was just about an hour before Rachel was killed (she was the first victim of Columbine). Rachel had drawn a picture of her eyes crying 13 clear tears, the same number of the victims (excluding the killers who took their own life), these 13 tears were watering a rose, once the tears touched the rose the tears turned to blood. That same rose appeared in previous diary growing up out of a Columbine plant. She also seemed to know that she was going to die very young, by the things that she wrote. And after doing a little research, I found out that her Grandparents on her mother's side, once pastored the pentecostal church that I now go to in Walkerton, Indiana. That was in the late 50's (long before my time). Rachel wanted more than anything to impact the world for Jesus Christ. In her untimely death she did just that. I only hope and pray that someday my relationship with God, will be as strong as Rachel's was.

Thats all I can really say for this book. I cried my eyes out. This girl really did have a passion for those around her who were unbelievers.
Even though she died because of it, she was unafraid and unashamed of her belief in God, something that I pray that all Christians can do. It had to have been absolutly terrifying to be at columbine highschool on that fateful day. I was safe at home, halfway across the country when this happened.
I believe that if someone were to question me about my faith in God while they were pointing o gun at my head, I would find it difficult to say yes. But, in the Bible Jesus said "If you deny me, then I will deny you before my father. So I just pray that we will all have the guts to say yes like Rachel Scott, Cassie Bernall, and Valeen Schnurr and so many oher martyrs.
God Bless you all

I read Rachel's Tears a few years ago, and couldn't put it down. This book had a huge impact on my life as a believer, and made me question how strong my faith really was. I found my faith to be lacking and after reading, I desired to have the level of faith that Rachel had. As a grown woman of 30 years old, I remembered having that fresh, fired up type faith when I was a teen. I had lost it somehow, and this book helped me to find it again. This was an awesome book about an awesome young woman.
I am looking forward to sharing this with my almost 13 yr old son.
