Customer Reviews

Great gift

I bought this for a teenager I know and she loved it. She is a quiet teen but she made sure she brought this book to church to show it off. It is a thought-provoking book, very well written.

Deserves more stars * * * * * * * * *

When I first began reading this book it was right when I first wanted to give my life to God. This book helped me sooo much. It's full of inspirational quotes and accounts of a true christian. Her story really had an impact on my life. I bought this book for a few of my friends so that they could also read her incredible story. If you read any book it should be this one!

I wish I could give more stars for this book

Before I read this book I was haveing a spiritual down fall after reading it I was complete reformed.Rachel became my role model and should be the role model for any christian of any age. The author uses Rachel's poems, writtings, stories, quotes, ect to teach other's through Rachel's life. I am happy they didn't say much about her death because she isn't dead, she is living forever in heaven. If more people would read this book and take it to heart and tell others to read it our world would be a better place. Full of love, kindness, gentelness, out reaching, and hopefully more people living their lives for our Lord Jesus Christ. When I tell others about this book I am speechless...God helped me grow through this book and He will work through it to you.

Honest and Open Book

I have read the book The Journals of Rachel Scott and I feel the writer had a very tough job to write from Rachel's point of veiw without ever knowing her personally. As Rachel's sister I feel that she did an awesome job. Much of the book was based on things written and said to her friends and family in letters and journals. Though no person could ever truly capture who Rachel was and what she would write I feel that the book shows a young girl who made a difference with her life because of her willingness. I am very proud of my mom who wrote this book and I know that Rachel would want her to know that same!!

Excellent book for Your Teens

This book shows the thoughts, struggles, victories and defeats of Rachel Scott. This would be an excellent book to give or recommend to any teenager (especially girls) in your youth group or church. It would also be a good book to give to your son or daughter. It's a great book that teens can lread and hopefully notice that there are other people that have the some of the same struggles that I have. It can also be a great motivating book for your students. It would probably work great for a small group study.
