Meet Eddie. He is a man who has, unfortunately, made some poor decisions in his life. From hurting his best friend to abusing drugs, his actions have had unforeseen consequences not only on himself, but on his loved ones and others around him.
Follow Eddie as he shares his life with you. He will tell you all about his past, as he teaches you lessons he paid a heavy price to learn himself. You will learn about his struggles, but also his triumphs, so you can take heart in his accomplishments.
The Seventh Sin explores human nature, human struggles, and universal truths that are sometimes hard to deal with, in a Christian setting. This novel will show you the other side of the coin, and why some people do the things they do -- and how it affects them and others in their lives.
I understand this is the writer's first published work. On that note, it's quite impressive for a first try. The story itself revolves around a character named Edgar, who recounts in the first person various events through stages of his life. A mix of good events and bad events (foolish mistakes Edgar makes) are recalled throughout the story.
Due to the juxtaposition of the good and the bad, there's a constant shift in the mood of the readers. One moment, you feel warm and glad over some of the good things that the narrator does. Other times, you slap your forehead in frustration when he does something incredibly foolish. I did this myself whenever Edgar did something dumb and when I got to the last part of the book, I openly said aloud "You have got to be kidding me!" This is the FIRST time I've done either of these things in a long time when I was reading literature. Yes, the writing was that powerful.
The Seventh Sin is a hidden gem and is worth picking up.
