5.0 out of 5 stars really makes you think, November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Sins and Mine (Hardcover)

YOUR SINS AND MINE by Taylor Caldwell is a Y2K in a nutshell. It is a small, but powerful book that causes you to examine your spiritual life. Not exactly biblical in content, but along those lines. This book is a little bit more generous than the bible in that humanity is given a second chance. This book cannot be put down once you open it. It is a novel about a farmer and his family and what happens to the earth once God has had enough of our brutality and hatred of one another. Written almost a half decade ago, it is very prophetic and timely. Excellent. Must read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Your Sins and Mine, June 25, 2001

This review is from: Your Sins and Mine (Paperback)

I have read several other of Taylor Caldwell books and I happen to think she is a brilliant author. This particular book was about a farming community that experienced a severe drought and a growth of fowl smelling weeds that choked off any possibility of productive crops. As the story moves along this community finds out that it is not just they who are suffering from this tremendous overgrowth that had poisonous pricks and attracted a poisonous scorpion type creature whose bite is deadly. It is a more religious book than I care for and makes God seem like a picky being who requires the correct verbiage in daily prayers for them to be answered. It is also slightly depressing, but it is inspiring in a religious sense if that is what a person like in books. Personally I feel God to be more loving and less specific on the way a person prays, but it is inspiring. I do like the way Caldwell writes about the government and how it can be manipulative or deceiving in certain situations. It was a book that was difficult to put down. I had to know how it ended. I think Caldwell is a genius the way she hooks the reader into the story. Other than the belief system being different than mine, it was very good book. I think Caldwell was a woman well ahead of her time in all of her stories and I enjoy the way she writes.

5.0 out of 5 stars POWERFUL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING BOOK., July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Sins and Mine (Hardcover)

I read "YOUR SINS AND MINE" in the 50's. I was in my 20's at the time, but I was deeply impressed. This book should be in the hands of all World Leaders and in every school as a MUST READ. The second chance the world got in the book I dare say wont be available in the real world. Alas, but the hate goes on... .
