"The Sentence" by Elaine Cantrell was one of the most amazing novels that was simply a excellent read! The characters were simply off the chart good!
For six months Clint was prisoner in the ministers home, instead of 6 months in jail, due to the fact that he had been accused of setting fire to their church. Clint was there to help rebuild the church with the help of the other church members. I did like the way this author was able to deliver to the reader truly the thoughts of the people...many were upset the the judges decision and you could see how they could feel this way however, there were a few people who showed love in the heart to forgive and I believe that was really what this novel was about...'forgiving'....and that is what happened in "The Sentence." Now, Clint is there working and even turning his life around..What else will change for Clint? This is the part where I say you must read "The Sentence" to find out because there will be a few surprises.
I found "The Sentence" very inspirational for me and if you are in for a nice sweet romance then this novel would be recommend for you.

I had a very hard time liking this book at first. It just made me angry at how judgmental some of the christians were. But it was realistic. I have known many so-called believers like this, who act holier than thou and look down on people based on appearance or reputation. I really enjoyed reading about Clint and how God slowly transforms him through this book using some pretty bad experiences in his life and used them for good. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.
