DESCRIPTION:
1999 Gold Medallion Award winner!Set in 1850s Appalachia, The Last Sin Eater is the story of a community committed to its myth of a human "sin eater," who absolves the dead of their sins, and the ten-year-old child who shows them the truth in Jesus.
Christian based, wonderful living characters, a story to read again and again Ms. Readalot Next to the Bible, this is one of the most stunning, absolutely marvelous Christ based books I have ever read. Francine Rivers writes in a way that had me praying in way I never had before, and seeing scripture coming even more alive as I viewed Christian lives in action, muc. A Powerful Allegory This book took me back to the simple and powerful story of grace that is found in Jesus taking our place on the cross as the blameless Lamb of God! It reminded me of all the ways I tried to earn salvation, living a 'good' life in my strength and ways; and all the ways that I . Fascinating Read Cnslr Lady Francine Rivers writes thought provoking, mesmerizing allegory about the people of the Appalachian hills. She explores the tragedy that comes of secrecy and lies.

Somehow Cadi, touchingly portrayed by Rivers, comes to realize that the sin eater is false and learns of Jesus, and her conversion to Christianity leads to a reconciliation with her family. From Library Journal Even in her romances, Rivers (Redeeming Love, LJ 11/1/97) tackles some difficult issues, so this story of a family and a community in turmoil is different from her other books only in that it lacks a love interest. While at her grandmother's grave, Cadi sees the "sin eater," a human who absolves the residents of the tiny Smoky Mountain community of their sins. Ten-year-old Cadi's grief over her beloved grandmother?the only person who seemed to love her unconditionally?is compounded by a previous family tragedy for which she believes her family blames her. Highly recommended.Copyright 1998 Reed Busine
