I love horror and my favorite sub-genre of horror is when it’s about Zombies, among a few other things. When my eyes caught the title, The Christian Zombies Killers Handbook: Slaying The Living Dead Within by Jeff Kinley I became interested but also indecisive. I wanted to quickly check it out but on the other hand I was reluctant because I was worry that it would be one of those preachy books, that would focus too much on Christianity in the world filled with Zombies and not much on the undead.
It turns out that the book alternates between fictional, zombie-filled “Episodes” and “Chapters” in which he elaborates on human depravity and the hope found in Jesus. He basically explains the sins in human souls and encourages readers to surrender to Christ’s cleansing power and allow Him to kill the zombie within.
As interesting as the book is, I had a difficult time in getting the hang of the “Episodes” and “Chapters”. As soon as I get interested in an “Episode” I get interrupted by a “Chapter” and so on. I felt that maybe this should have been a two part book…one that has the zombie story and attach to it would be the handbook/guide that brakes it down. So for some people the switching of story to about it can become annoying and/or hard to get into. But otherwise I did enjoy what this book has to offer because it’s unique and gives an nice view of Christianity dealing with zombies.
I enjoy it despite having a hard time getting into it. But this book is not for everyone. Not for those that don’t like heavy religious undertone and not for those that expect to read only a zombie story.
I received this book free from BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
