Product DetailsMuch of the world has heard the story of the terrible last seconds in the life of young Cassie Bernall: She was a devout teenager, confronted by the gunmen at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, who asked her if she believed in God. She answered yes--and was shot point-blank. The tale of youthful faith and martyrdom has understandably struck a chord among Christians and non-Christians alike, with followers of many faiths asking themselves what would they do under such horrific circumstances. Cassie's mother, Misty Bernall, has written a bestselling book about her daughter's life, tracing Cassie's path from troubled wild child to follower of Jesus, and this 25-minute video valentine is clearly meant to be a companion piece to the book. It features testimonials from Cassie's friends and fellow church members, a peppy rock soundtrack, and much footage of the radiant teenager whose promising life was cut short. A narration would have helped flesh out this portrait, as would inclusion of Cassie's struggles featured in the book, but anyone familiar with her story will not fail to be moved by this emotional and faith-driven tribute. --Anne Hurley Product Reviews
This video, the book, and the t-shirts are all worthless, and any money you pay for them is going to help Cassie's parents profit from their daughter's death. There are better ways to get kids into Christianity than telling them lies, they'll either grow up deluded or resentful if you do. Testimony of eyewitnesses suggests that all the killers said to Cassie was "Peekaboo" before shooting her, while Valeen Schnurr (after she was shot) was asked if she believed in God-said yes-and was able to recover later on. That's inspirational enough, thank you, and no money goes to the vultures Cassie's parents have made themselves into. (...)
Other issues involve why the Jefferson County Sheriff's office hid video testimony that showed anti-Christian hatred and murderous threats by the 2 killers, and why they allowed Salon.com reporters access to private information about Cassie, while none of the other victim's information was released. Furthermore, the Salon.com article which tried to "debunk" Cassie's testimony in death coincided with the release of this book. The sheriff's department tried to make it look as though the two killers were targeting athletes, when in fact, most of the victims were Christians. The killers did not ask their victims "Are you are athlete?", but rather "Do you believe in God?". I find the testimony of Cassie to be a wonderful example of faith, and she should be honored by Christians as a heroic example of faith.
