The Last Sin Eater
Francine River's novel, The Last Sin Eater, is opening in theatres across the country today. It is set in 1850's Appalachia. Ten year old Cadi feels responsible for her little sister's death, so she searches out the one man she feels can take away her sin--The Sin Eater. But in her quest for redemption, Cadi uncovers a dark secret that threatens to divide her family and community.
You can watch a trailer here. Find a theatre near you that is showing it. You can check out the resources available for churches and groups who want to create a community movie-going experience for their members. And you can read some reviews here and here.
It is directed by Michael Landon, Jr. and Brian Bird. I cannot express to you how important it is that we support these movies. If the Christian community is going to have an influence on what Hollywood puts in its theaters, then we *must* go to these movies as soon as they hit the theatres. The opening day and weekend of a movie are *critical.* So go out on a date night or take the family. Then come back and tell me what you thought!

That's so great that another Christian movie is out. I loved The Nativity and One Night With the King. Dee, do you ever imagine that one of your books gets auctioned for film?

I'm so excited about this movie! I LOVE Francine Rivers, though I admit I haven't read this book.

I am very excited about this one! I had hoped to have a girls' movie night this weekend, but my husband has this silly notion that we really need to work on getting our old home sold. Silly boy...where are his priorities??? ;-) Robin Lee Hatcher has a good post about Francine Rivers and her participation in this movie.
Another movie to be watching for is "Amazing Grace" coming out Feb.23rd. The website is www.amazinggracemovie.com. Looks like it will be a good one!

The Last Sin Eater was soooooo good! I absolutely loved it. The photography was stunning. The acting was fabulous.
All I can say is, be sure to wear your waterproof mascara!!
P.S. They showed a preview for Amazing Grace and you're right, Katybug, it looks like it is going to be really, really good. That one is going on my calendar for sure!

I loved this movie and cannot recommmend it enough! So well made, fab. actors, and such a sweet, sweet story. I went with a friend the opening weekend and boohoo'd so much I was certain my eyes would be red and swollen when I left. But soooo worth it! Thanks for doing your part to promote it, Deeanne.
