She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall 
Wow. This book was so sad. It was amazing how her life was, but it was so sad. She was only 17 when she was murdered. She never got the chance to go to college, or even graduate from High School. She was never able to get married, or have kids or have a life. But she died for a worthy cause. How many people would have said "Yes" if someone put a gun to their head and asked them if they believed in God? I recommend this book, but if you get really emotional over sad stories, this is one of them.
I forgot all about this book until someone mentioned it earlier today. I was a senior in TX when Columbine happened but I am from Colorado and had family here. I've been back in Colorado for over 14 years and have lived fairly close to Columbine for the last 7 yrs or so. Honestly, it's really weird to drive by it, go to Clement Park, etc. My step-nephew actually attends the school.Anyway, I read this somewhere between 2001-20013. A lady at work gave it to me as she went to the same church as the

I first read this book when I was 14 and I had a strong feeling to reread it again this past year. I didn't realize 2019 was the 20th year of Columbine until after rereading the story. Cassie's story is relatable for parents as Misty is wonderful at her honesty at what it was like raising Cassie and the struggles she and her husband faced. Misty recounts not only the day of Cassie's death but everything leading up to that moment. Cassie struggled with peers. She was walking on the wrong path.
I think Philip Yancy's quote on the back cover says it all. "Behind the scenes of Cassie Bernall's martyrdom is a story that will chill the heart of every parent - but also bring a strong gust of hope."A quote from the book:"It is also easier to get angry, to point fingers, or to lose oneself in what the media calls the 'larger' issues. In the wake of Columbine that has meant gun control and video games, school security and Hollywood violence, preventative education and separation of church and
