Breakout

Extreme Fiction #2

by Mark Rempel

A year after the tragic school shooting at Lincoln High, student class president Taylor Shepperd desires to see his school passionate about God. In an effort of faith, Taylor makes a commitment to pray for a spiritual awakening among his fellow students. Taylor's prayer is answered, and a spiritual breakout follows. Small, spiritual awakenings start to happen all over the world, led by teenagers. A Virginia school district's struggle to allow this "move of God" propels the argument eventually leading to the Supreme Court where a surprise ending leaves readers hungry to see God move in this generation of young adults. An awesome story of how God can take even the most tragic of circumstances and use them to touch the world.

This is the sequel of Point Blank by Mark Rempel. Like the last book, this one is not in chronological order and follows multiple adventures. This book is about breakouts in school across the country, kids who are suddenly deciding to follow God. It's a very good book and teaches many good lessons. My favorite is right at the end: no matter how hard the government tries, nothing can hold back the Lord from reaching people's hearts.

I loved this when I was a fundie Evangelical teen, kind of horrified by its existence now that I've deconstructed my faith.

I didn't get to finish b/c I left it at school and you know when kids see books they say eff that and throw it away.
