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.

"I am not going to apologize for speaking the name of Jesus . .
. If I have to sacrifice everything . . . I will." -Rachel
Scott
The Columbine tragedy in April 1999 pierced the heart of our
country. We later learned that the teenage killers specifically
targeted Rachel Scott and mocked her Christian faith on their
chilling, homemade videotapes. Rachel Scott died for her faith. Now
her parents talk about Rachel's life and how they have found
meaning in their daughter's martyrdom in the aftermath of the
school shooting. "Rachel's Tears" comes from a heartfelt need to
celebrate this young girl's life, to work through the grief and the
questions of a nation, and to comfort those who have been touched
by violence in our schools today. Using excerpts and drawings from
Rachel's own journals, her parents offer a spiritual perspective on
the Columbine tragedy and provide a vision of hope for preventing
youth violence across the nation.
Meets national education standards.
When Rachel Scott's life was tragically cut short in the
Columbine High School shooting, she left behind a group of grieving

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.

Now in its sixth edition, and with previous editions translated
into 15 languages, this publication gives readers a broad and basic
understanding of the key issues for each International Financial
Reporting Standard. It summarizes each standard, providing a quick
reference for managers and executives in the private and public
sectors who may not have a strong background in accounting. This
edition includes material of potential interest to the financial
analyst. Most chapters also contain exercises which illustrate the
practical application of key concepts in a particular standard.
This provides the non-technical reader with the tools to
participate in discussions on the appropriateness or application of
a standard in a given situation. The reader can also evaluate the
effect that applying a given standard will have on the financial
results and position of a division or an entire enterprise. All of
the accounting standards issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) through September 30, 2010, are included in
this publication.
The reader will find this book a pleasant and endearing change of
pace because of it's mode of innocence and a mixture of sadness.
Marc Bowman and Bobby Sousa and Jim Stern depart for the lake
together expecting to find a day of self-reliance and fun. When the
old Mohave man Mr. Malacka suggests traveling to the lake on
horseback there becomes a sense of parental security and
fulfillment that Mr. Malacka fulfills. The inclement weather is
also a harbinger of how life's good times can suddenly turn bad.
The group enjoys an idyllic day doing what young twelve-year-olds
do on a fishing trip. The reader can feel the essence of the lake
as it's described and will enjoy old Chato as he shares some of his
experiences with the boys. The reader will also laugh with the boys
as Bobby's story of Flavio is told around a mealtime campfire.
Those who have been to the tri-state area of Arizona, California
and Nevada will readily agree that it is as scenic as when Jedediah
Smith found it and the Mohaves in the 1800's. The Boundary Cone and
the Colorado River prominently remain.
