Cassie Bernall: She Said Yes: 25-Pack Tracts (Proclaiming the Gospel)
Synopsis
In a perverse celebration of Hitler's birthday, two heavily armed students stormed through a Colorado school on April 20, 1999, killing as many people as they could. Confronting 17-year-old Cassie Bernall, they put a gun to her head and asked: 'Do you believe in God?' She said 'Yes'. The killer laughed and pulled the trigger.
Around the world, people hailed Cassie as a modern martyr, but a far more remarkable story has been left untold. Three years earlier, Cassie herself planned to murder a teacher and threatened suicide. In She Said Yes, Cassie's mother breaks her silence to recount the dramatic transformation that led up to her daughter's final heroic stand.

Review
"A remarkably candid book." -- The Mirror, 20 September 1999
"If you don't yet know who Cassie Bernall is, you soon will...an effort to a balanced portrait." -- The Independent, 21 August 1999
"One of the year's publishing sensations." -- Sunday Telegraph, 8 August 1999
"The power of the Cassie Bernall story comes from the fact that she herself had dabbled in witchcraft, drugs and violent fantasies, only to reject them." -- The Guardian, 17 July 1999
From the Back Cover
"One of the most gripping stories to come out of the shooting at Columbine High School"* is told in the acclaimed national bestseller that illuminates the most remarkable aspect of 17-year-old Cassie Bernall's tragic death: her life.
she said yes is an "intense and fascinating memoir" (*Publishers Weekly) of an ordinary teenager growing up in suburban Colorado, and faced -- as all teenagers are -- with difficult choices and pressures. It is only now, when the world knows Cassie Bernall as one of the Columbine High students killed by two rampaging schoolmates, that the choices she made offer a profound relevance for us all. Once a rage-filled young woman who walked a path similar to that of her killers, Cassie found a way out of her personal snares and, through her faith and a family's love, chose to embrace life with courage and conviction.
