These next couple of months are "Summer Reading" at Women of Witness. Women of Witness is a non-denominational Womens Group I founded many years ago. We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at Lakeview Resort and Spa in Morgantown, West Virginia at 10AM-noon. Take this as your invitation to join us. At each meeting I present "Tips To Better Yourself" and "Tips To Better your Relationships With Others". We also read a book every 3 months and discuss it openly at our meetings. In the summer I pick a novel or something fun and interesting. This summer's reading is "The Last Sin Eater" by Francine Rivers. She is a well known and loved author and we have read many books of her's in the past including "Redeeming Love" which is still a favorite among our members. So here is a bit about what we are reading and we hope you will join us July 8th at 10AM. www.remarkablewoman.org
According to Wikipedia a sin-eater is a person who consumes a ritual meal in order to magically take on the sins of a person or household. Traditionally, the food was believed to absorb the sins of a recently deceased person, thus absolving that person's soul. Consequently, sin-eaters supposedly carried the sins of all people whose sins they "ate."
When I finished reading this book that was very detailed of the 1800's I was very grateful for the day and time in which I live. I was also very thankful for all the missionaries that have traveled the world sharing the "Good News' of Jesus Christ; "the one who takes away the sins of the world". (John 1:29)
My heart breaks for those that do not know the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't want to ruin the book for you, but it is very sad to live without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The lies the enemy tells us can keep us trapped and tormented. Only the truth can set us free.
If you are looking for a great summer read pick this one up, or any book that Francine has written. You will enjoy them. Then pass them along to you friends. Who knows, God may use them to win your lost loved ones to Christ.
