Surviving Columbine: How Faith Helps Us Find Peace When Tragedy Strikes
Five years after the event, Columbine students and Latter-day Saints Liz Carlston, Amber Huntington, and Mike Johnson share what happened to them on that fateful day and tell of God's comforting power that was manifest in the midst of the turmoil. Liz remembers her experiences with Coach Sanders, who was her basketball coach and who died trying to save his students. Amber describes her harrowing moments in the school library when the gunmen burst through the doors and opened fire. Mike, one of the first students shot outside the schoolyard, shares his story of medical miracles, with his mother Kathy, adding a parent's perspective. As difficult as surviving Columbine was, the aftermath proved to be just as difficult as the students struggled with depression, guilt, physical challenges, and emotional upheaval. Yet, through it all, their testimonies of Jesus Christ and his gospel remained an integral part of their lives, providing them with much-needed perspective, patience, and hope. Their stories are an inspiring account of how faith endures despite fear, how testimonies are strengthened from trials, and how healing is possible through the divine ministrations of God.
