It's an Appalachian burial tradition that fascinates 10-year-old Cadi Forbes. A mysterious man has just "absolved" the sins of her grandmother by eating bread and drinking wine at her gravesite. Consumed with guilt over her own unrighteousness, Cadi seeks the same redemption from this "sin eater"---while she's still alive! Is this man really the absolver of sins? She is determined to find out.
Cadi is driven to find the “sin eater,” but her determination places herself and others into grave danger, including an itinerant preacher of the Gospel. The Last Sin Eater gives the reader a great Gospel witness. This fall we hope to show the movie edition of this story at church.
380 pages, softcover from Tyndale.
