The Latest Book in My World

I am currently Reading Francine Rivers "The Last Sin Eater" and am somewhat mistified by the book. I am not sure why I am saying this other than I know I put this one down before because I couldn't get into it. Now I am having a love/hate relationship with it. It is not a "typical" Francine Rivers book that you can't stop reading...although, I am struggling to stop reading each time I pick it up...but it's not super easy reading. The language is old scottish or something like that...Currently I am picturing a group of mountain people in the Appalachians. Not sure if that is correct...but that is what I am picturing in my head. Apparently this is now a movie. Do you think Christians are making a move to take over the big screen? I hope so. I know I want to see the movie. But I have a STEADFAST rule...BOOK BEFORE MOVIE! It is truly imperative to me I read the book or my children read the book before they see a movie.

I am really interested in seeing where this book takes me. I believe this is a Spiritual Journey...I'm enjoying it. I really love to watch/participate in God's plan...

I've read The Last Sin-Eater; I agree it is different from her others; it has to be chewed on more; it is set in the Appalachians. If you by chance read Christy (the real book) you would have more background on that culture. It's the Irish/Scottish/Welsh -Celtic culture - druid, pre-Christian stuff layered over with Christianity -sorry this is too long - if you'll hang in there you'll see the light of true Christianity shine through the darkness of the culture of those people. Please hang in there; it ends so beautifully!

Yes, The Last Sin Eater is a great book... and you should see the movie version. I saw it wit 15 of my friends when it was in the theaters in February. It's really faithful to the book and they toned down the Welsh accents. It's coming out on DVD May 15!

I am a weirdo because if possible I like to see it first. I get so irritated when I read it first and they leave important stuff out of the films! lol
