The 13th Tribe by Robert Liparulo


From the back of the book: "Immortal vigilantes from the time of Moses have planned the unthinkable.  But how can you stop what you can't see?"

In The 13th Tribe, Liparulo tells the story of a group of people whose sin punishment was to walk the earth forever, never able to see the face of God again.  These people, given the moniker of The Tribe, take it upon themselves to remedy their situation in a very unusual way: by removing the earth of all sinners, all the while hoping God will accept their work and call them home.

Liparulo forces the reader to think while enjoying his story, and very few authors have the ability to pull this off successfully.  Is killing ever justified?  What about when it's taking the life of someone who is guilty but never served punishment?  Should children be held accountable for their mistakes?  These questions will take root in your mind as you read this story.

And lastly, we’ve all seen instances where the harsh realities of life have hardened people’s hearts.  Imagine what 3500 years of these realities can do to someone’s heart.  But, as is in life, redemption is there for the taking.  You just have to know where to look.

READ THIS BOOK!  You won’t be disappointed.

I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
