Sara Barratt

I love when a teen is fired up about God. They want to share the good news with others and are not ashamed to say they are a Christian. I loved the author’s sold out to Jesus attitude. She admits that there are things she needs to work on, but she is teachable and willing to share her knowledge with others. She wants her generation to succeed and follow Jesus on their journey to becoming an adult.
The author is very grounded and I enjoyed reading how passionate she is about her generation changing the world in a positive way. She gives great examples of how to overcome obstacles and the book is very encouraging. I love her biblical examples and personal ones as well to illustrate how God can change your life. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I would recommend every youth pastor to read this book. It would be an excellent bible study for a group setting. I don’t want to overlook the fact that I learned a lot from this book and it made me realize how comfortable I have become in my faith. I don’t have that fire like I use to. After reading the book, I could feel myself getting excited about Jesus again.

Even though Love Riot is intended as a call to action for today’s teenagers, the lessons and Sara Barratt shares inside are deep enough to challenge any person who calls themselves a Christian.

In the convenience of today’s world, many of us (including myself) have grown comfortable, and dare I say, apathetic at times, in our faith. Barratt challenges that with stories of people who have been lit on fire to share God’s love with the world.

Whether she’s talking about the church, giving, loving others, relationships, or using our time wisely, Barratt writes with a depth and wisdom beyond her years. She’s never condescending, even point out some of the wrong steps she’s taken in her own walk.

Each chapter ends with some questions that call for a deeper commitment to Christ. Whether you’re sixteen or forty-six, Love Riot is sure to shine a light on the dark and shadowed areas of your faith. And I, for one, am looking forward to what is to come for Barratt.
