Book Reviews of The Last Sin Eater
Book Review: The best of Francine just might be The LAST Sin Eater!
Summary: 5 Stars
In all honesty, I don't know how she does it. I really don't. She certainly does it through Christ Jesus, and it comes out remarkable! It is easy to see why this is now a motion picture, one that I can't WAIT to see after taking this in. As with most of her other titles, you really don't know what to expect. You think you do... YOU DON'T! You have a simple idea of what's to come, but NO CLUE of the surprises held within.
She did this in the first person of Cadi Forbes. She also wrote this in a style that is practically Celtic. But I think she just wanted to tell the story through Cadi, and let readers eagerly find something out about "The Last Sin Eater." First of all, WHAT is a SIN EATER?! Well, in this case it is an unknown human being (to some people, some know who it is) and it is supposed to take away the sins of the departed. You just give the mysterious figure some bread and wine at the funeral, and WHOOSH!! Bye bye, SIN! It sounds like a great deal. You dare not suggest otherwise to Brogan Kai and his clan, they'd kill you over it. If that were the story, it might be pretty bland. But Francine isn't going to let you go with just that, she isn't a feel-good author with just a good meal (burp) and then you read another one of her works. I don't think so! Francine Rivers is bold enough to throw in that 2 word question that we don't always like. That question is "What if?" Oh no! Hey, OH YES!!! She throws in what if's whether we like it or not. You don't like "what if's" then you don't read Francine, amen? And consider this: better yet WHO is the Sin Eater? Read on!
What if a supposed "Man of God" showed up in this glen? What if certain people held secrets? And what if certain others show objections? Yeah, it all happens here! And on top of that, Cadi is becoming quick friends with Brogan Kai's son, Fagan, and he's in on this too. They want to meet the Sin Eater! But they also are curious enough to find out what this man of God might have to say. Does he speak the truth? What if he hits a nerve, and people don't like it?
In a day and age where you probably shouldn't ask too many questions, (happens to be the 1850s in this case) you get answers, dear reader. You won't always get easy answers, Francine never makes it easy. There are at least a couple of broken hearts when you read her. And if you happen to crack open this with a broken heart, please remember that it can be mended. If I could mention simply one theme of this, it would be that NOTHING is impossible with God. Goodness, this is great and awesome stuff! And it's special. I've never read anything by Rivers that I didn't consider special. People will read Francine Rivers 100 years from now, and for good reason!
Summary of The Last Sin Eater
1999 Gold Medallion Award winner!A repackage of Francine Rivers's beloved novel, now with a stunning new look and bonus discussion questions.
All that matters for Cadi Forbes is finding the one man who can set her free from the sin that plagues her, the sin that has stolen her mother's love from her and made her wish she could flee life and its terrible injustice. But Cadi doesn't know that the ?sin eater? is seeking as well. Before their journeys are over, Cadi and the sin eater must face themselves, each other, and the One who will demand everything from them in exchange for the answers they seek. A captivating tale of suffering, seeking, and redemption.
