About
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.

"Love Riot calls the teenagers of the world to step up and step out in their faith and cause a riot against the low expectations set for youth across the globe. It may be aimed at one generation, but Love Riot has the ability to cause the riot it's intending through the hearts of the young to the old."
Riley Banks-Snyder, author of Riley Unlikely and founder of Generation Next
"If you're searching for a book that teaches you how to play it safe as a Christian teen, this probably isn't the book for you. If you're searching for a book that teaches you how to live for both God and the world, this isn't for you. But if you're a teen who longs to make your parents' faith personal--or if you're searching to understand the value of church and God in the first place--then this is the book you've been searching for. I couldn't be more thrilled to see a teen challenging the status quo and setting an example for her peers to follow. It's my prayer that this book will prompt teens to live boldly and passionately and to rebel against the low expectations of their generation. If readers will follow Sara's lead, there will be no stopping this generation from making a positive impact on their society. This could perhaps spark the beginning of a revolution. A cultural awakening. A love riot by teens who are simply in pursuit of their loving Savior, Jesus Christ."
Tessa Emily Hall, author of Coffee Shop Devos and Love Your Selfie
"Sara Barratt's Love Riot reminds me of a saying my pastor taught me. 'If your version of Christianity doesn't cost you anything, you've got the bootleg.' In this book, Sara boldly calls Christ followers to drop the bootleg version of Christianity and pick up their cross. With radical love and reckless abandon, we can begin to run toward the revival of our hearts in Jesus."
Megan Brown, author of Esther: Come Out of Hiding
