Cadi Forbes knows that she's not supposed to gaze upon the sin eater--the one man chosen from her people to take on their sins and help them enter heaven--but at her Granny's funeral she can't resist the urge to look. What she sees isn't the disgusting mockery of a human she has been led to believe, burdened down and twisted by years of ingesting the sins of others, but a man just like any other--with a voice as sorrowful and pitiful as any she's heard. Thus begins her journey to absolve her own secret sins and ultimately find the true "Sin Eater" who took upon Himself the world's sins and offers forgiveness from them.
This enticing page-turner offers an incredible story of redemption and how it leads to telling others about Jesus. As Cadi searches out the sin eater and meets a travelling prophet who can bring wholeness even to the sin eater, she finds that she too has a role in helping the people of the valley hear the good news. Aided and supported by her friend Fagan Kai, she learns that God can work wonders through even children if they are faithful to speak the truth of Jesus.
At the same time, there are enough secrets in the valley to keep readers flipping pages to learn the mystery behind the settlement. What is the origin of the town? What role did Cadi play in the death of her younger sister? Who is the sin eater, and why was he chosen to be the town's scapegoat?
The Last Sin Eater makes a great gift both for Christians who need to realize the power of sharing Christ with others and for those readers in your circle of friends and acquaintances who do not yet know Christ as their Lord.
