Product Description

Rachel Scott and her killer Eric Harris both talked about starting a “chain reaction.” Eric used violence to kill and destroy at Columbine High School. But Rachel chose another path. In a personal creed she wrote one month before her death in the Columbine tragedy, she explained her conviction that if one person goes out of his or her way to show compassion, it will start a world-changing chain reaction of kindness.

For Rachel, this was a solemn calling. And now her father, Darrell Scott, is carrying on her crusade by challenging people of all ages to commit themselves to creating a revolution of compassion that can make a real difference in our troubled world. Chain Reaction spells out this challenge in compelling detail, providing moving examples of practical compassion and giving illustrations from Rachel’s life and journals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Labor of Love, May 4, 2001
By Bethanee "bethlyn75" (Littleton, Co. USA) - See all my reviews
I have read the book Chain Reaction and I would like to say that I am very proud of my dad who wrote it. I know that for him it is a personal tribute to Rachel, as well as his passion to make a difference. And he is. I know that I am biased in my opinion but I wanted to take the opportunity to say how proud I am of him and I know that if my sister Rachel was here she would say the same thing. My dad has spent countless hours and hours educating himself and others on the issues facing our society today. This book challenges us all to be proactive in reaching out to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring book, April 27, 2001
By A Customer
About a month ago, I read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and was moved by that young girl's struggle to discover and express her humanity during the Holocaust. In "Chain Reaction", Darrell Scott, the father of Columbine victim Rachel Scott, uses his daughter's journals to describe her similar struggle when faced with the modern teenager's Holocaust of sex, drugs, alcohol, bullying, materialism, broken homes, and violent culture. In particular, he explains the code of ethics she developed (forgiving, loving, helping, leading, and showing mercy for others), which caused her to be a force for good at her high school, reaching out to the most vulnerable students (the disabled, the new kids, and the outcasts) regardless of how it might affect her popularity. Although this code grew from Rachel's deep Christian faith, the book is nonsectarian and emphasizes the universality of her everyday successes and failures at trying to figure out what the right thing to do is and then have the courage to do it. The book also points out that Rachel was no saint and no namby-pamby, cloyingly sweet idealist--just an average teenager whose numerous small, simple acts of kindness had a huge impact on those around her. In fact, this is the meaning of the book's title. In an essay written a month before her death, Rachel wrote, "I have a theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same." Ironically, a month before his death, killer Eric Harris made a video saying he also wanted to "get a chain reaction going," only his, of course, was one of violence and hatred. As we all know, on April 20, 1999, Eric and his friend Dylan Klebold won the first battle, brutally murdering Rachel and 12 others. This book, and the speeches he gives all over the world, are Darrell Scott's attempt to make sure Rachel wins the war, namely, by telling her story and encouraging others to follow her example and start a chain reaction of kindness in their families, their schools, and their communities. I strongly recommend this book, especially to high school students, parents, and teachers--to students, so they can understand the terrible pain caused by bullying, and to parents and teachers, so they can begin to recognize and address the alienation and spiritual vacuum so many high school kids feel today.

5.0 out of 5 stars The truth will set you free, April 28, 2001
By Carl Melbye (MIlwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
Right after the Bible, this book should be required reading for every person on the planet. The concepts in this book are so simple to grasp but for whatever reason difficult to put into practice for most of us these days. It will have a positive impact on anyone who reads it.

This book is all about the golden rule. If everyone took this approach, there would be a lot less time for hate and anger and more time for thinking about what really matters. Jesus said, "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" I think that it is far easier to love than to hate..

Thank you again Mr. Scott for a thought provoking book. May God's grace continue to work through you and your familiy.
