• Jan. 8, 2008 - The Last Sin Eater

What a fascinating title. It is a book by Francine Rivers, one of my favorite authors. I had this book on my shelf for a year before I read it. I do not like to read books that are "scary", like This Present Darkness. So I was more than a little bit apprehensive about reading it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I read it and I Loved It. It takes place in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1850's. The people there are totally secluded and that is the way they want it. They are terrified of "taints" and are very sad and oppressed by the "Kai". Their greatest sadness and need is to hear of the one who can take away their sins. Francine Rivers lays out the gospel from Adam and Eve to Jesus Christ very clearly, more than once. I have given this book to several people for gifts and imagine my surprise to hear it has been made into a movie by Fox Faith. I requested the movie through my library and it was actually in the system. It took awhile but we finally got to see it. Wow, were we blown away. It actually talks about Jesus taking away your sins. It, of course, could have gone into a lot more detail like the book did but I was pleased to hear the name of Jesus. I recommend this to you all. Enjoy.
