Love Riot: A Teenage Call to Live with Relentless Abandon for Christ Paperback - 2020

From the rear cover

Have you ever thought about walking away from the church? Have you already left it in your heart? Does it seem like it's not relevant to your life?

It's time for a revolution. A holy uprising. A love riot.

Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara Barratt is calling you to stop giving in to the status quo and devote yourself fully to Christ, following Him no matter what your friends do or the culture around you promotes. Sara challenges you to hand everything over--your comfort zones, your time, your loyalty, your pride--and invites you to embark on a radical journey of passionate love for Christ. Because once you experience His love, it will transform your life.

Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.


"Sara Barratt wants to start a riot. An uproar. A disturbance for Jesus. Unlike some teenagers who want to disrupt and destroy, she wants to bravely build."--Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan and Don't Give Up and senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church

"God is at work among my generation. There's no denying that, especially after reading Love Riot. This book will challenge you, encourage you, and ignite your pursuit of Christ. I highly recommend it!"--Jaquelle Crowe Ferris, author of This Changes Everything

"Love Riot will challenge your idea of what it means to be a teen who truly follows Christ. Sara Barratt raises the bar and calls her peers to a higher standard. This book has the power to change lives!"--Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal, authors of Sex, Purity, and the Longings of a Girl's Heart and cofounders of GirlDefined Ministries
