Scottish-American Tale

First of all, the beautiful accent of the narrator made me want to listen non-stop. Then the vividly drawn characters with their depth and passion, and the intricately spun story pulled me deeper and deeper until I felt as though I were the one standing on Dead Man's Mountain. Francine Rivers did not leave any stone unturned as she sorted through the history of violence plaguing Caddy's people. The beauty of the gospel shines like a beacon through it all. Recommended for anyone with a taste for history, Scotland, or a dose of truth.

In the end I actually enjoyed it

At first I had a hard time getting into his book and following all the characters and understanding what was happening and so almost gave up listening but I’m glad I stayed I stayed with it because the story really opened up and started making sense and in the end was a great story of redemption. Very sad to know that something like this actually existed in history.

Much different than her other books

Very good book. It was much different than her other books. Still truth shines through in her books and feeds the soul.

Loved this Book

If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ don’t know how you won’t be after this book! The story of creation and redemption are written in its pages ... simply yet deep just wonderful..open your heart and let Gods love in!

Wow!

This is my most favorite yet. The story is so real and the good news presented so plainly.

Caught up in the story

Even though I had read this book a few years ago, I had enjoyed it so very much then, I decided it was worth a listen. I'm so glad I did, I was quite caught up all over again in the story. That narrator puts you right there in the mountain community of many years back, vivid descriptions of the mountains, the people in the story came to life for me.

Beautiful Story.

I absolutely loved this story. I laughed and cried and it drew my heart closer to the Lord. The narrater is fantastic as well. I love how she brought the old English to life.

One of my new favorite books

I had read this many years ago and suggested it to the women's bookclub at my church. I didn't remember many of the details and struggled with the beginning. By the second half of the book, I couldn't read without tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful and amazing book about the love of our Savior. I highly recommend this one.

Awsome Book

What did you love best about The Last Sin Eater?

I loved the entire book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character has to be the imaginary friend, Lilly Beth, or was she imaginary? Every time she showed up something happen. It made me think of that small voice we often listen to in our hearts.

Have you listened to any of Kate Forbes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first book of Kate Forbee's narration that i have listened to. She is a very clear speaker and easy to listen to.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved to tears when Caddie confessed her sin to the man of God and told of Ellen's death.

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful story about God's forgiveness.

Awesome Book

When I think I’ve read the best by this author I get so surprised. Wow. God has given this author Talent beyond words.
