Synopsis
When Rachel Scott's life was tragically cut short in the Columbine High School shooting, she left behind a group of grieving friends and family. But as stories of Rachel's faith and courage have surfaced, her legacy has grown to include hundreds of people who have been stirred by her example and are now impacting their world for God's kingdom.

In this moving book, readers will cherish the encouraging stories of those who are still passing on Rachel's spiritual legacy. Her father, Darrell Scott, shares his own reflections, which are deeply personal and poignant. Never-before-published writings and drawings from Rachel's journal are also included, along with photos of Rachel and her family and the people whose stories are featured.

Hey, well all I have to say is that it is a real tragedy what happened to Rachel Scott and that she was only in High School, but I think we are lucky that we have at least on of her ideas about a good life/world. And I know that i will be in this website again to research.

people came to my school to talk to us about the Columbine shooting and Rachels life. it inspired me to set goals in my life and learn that i can acheive them. i beleive that Rachel was a very special girl. i didnt know her but what i do know is that she was a much loved girl who didnt deserve to die but i beleive that she wouldnt want her death any other way. since her death she has touched many peoples lives and helped a lot of people including me. i give thanks to her parents for bringing such a wonderful girl into the world
