This is a world where a virus infects people and makes them mad with rage. After they die, they come back as zombies. Part of the book follows Ben Forman. A couple years prior, his father was attacked by a zombie and killed so he couldn’t rage and return as a zombie himself. We start as Ben stumbles upon a zombie kill. The story follows Ben as he tries to get on with his life but seems to have interactions with zombies every time he turns around.

In a world of literature that was once over-run with Vampires , then Werewolves, Angels and Demons are now being overthrown with the world of Zombies. From Zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, I am Legend and Zombieland come Zombie novels like Generation Dead by Dab Waters , Warm Bodies by Issac Marion and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Vampires have infiltrated our Christian Fiction line with Plain Fear Forsaken , so it seems only fair that Zombies can crawl or in their cas

Blurb From the back cover
Ben Forman was just an ordinary guy, a young professional starting his first job and falling in love with his girlfriend. Living in the outskirts of a southern city, he didn't think the zombie activity so common in the major cities would hit so close to home. But it was becoming clear that the mysterious infection reanimating the dead would soon be a worldwide epidemic.

I will freely admit that when I first heard of the Christian Zombie Killers Handbook, I presumed it would be along the lines of the Zombie Survival Guide or perhaps a tongue in cheek guide like the ones created by Scott Kenemore, such as "The Zen of Zombie." So even after I had read a few pages into the book, I was still waiting for the punch line or the snarkiness to come out. I guess that despite expecting something different initially, I can't say I'm surprised that a Christian mi

I'd like to thank Thomas Nelson/BookSneeze for the opportunity to read and review "The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook", by Jeff Kinley. This story although fictional, brings to light the very things that are happening within each and every one of us as Christians. We think that once we have accepted Christ into our lives and hearts, that we will be covered no matter what we do.

I must say I'm a little embarrassed, based on the title/cover, to have people know I read this book. I'm not a zombie kinda girl. But the title is precisely what prompted me to want to read it. From the second I saw it on the list of books at booksneeze.com, I knew I wanted it. The title was compelling, and based on the subtitle, "Slaying the Living Dead Within," I figured it was a non fiction Christian self-help type book with a catchy title to get people like me hooked into buyin

Vampires, Werewolves,Zombies, and more all creatures, some say there not real, some say they are. Every few years a new fad for these creatures seems to come around. I myself like all these creatures finding them fascinating and cool was one thing that helped really catch my eye with this book. 'cause i love zombies!
this book really takes a twist on zombies though, it makes them real, i sometimes think it would be cool if a George A. Romero zombie were real, sure it would want to ea More...

This was a wonderful double whammy of a zombie adventure tale. It's kind of like getting two stories in one...You have Ben's zombie story and then you have the theoretical story of how there is a little bit of zombie (sin) in all of us and how we can overcome our wicked side and live in harmony with God. It took me a while to get used to the way the the book was divided up. It would give us episodes of the ongoing zombie adventure with Ben and his family and then would lead into a chapter of the

A meandering, directionless, and ultimately discouraging discussion of the Christian's fight against the "living dead" sin nature, interspersed with scenes from a rather underwhelming, uninspired, and largely unrelated fictional tale of zombie warfare. So, John Owen's Mortification of Sin by way of Max Brooks' World War Z. But minus all the awesome.
The book starts off with an interesting premise--your sin nature is supposed to be crucified with Christ . . . yet it continu More...

I chose to read The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook: Slaying the Living Dead Within because I wanted to try and understand the whole zombie fad. Not being a horror aficionado myself, I was immediately repulsed by the direction the first chapter took. Admittedly, I was curious to see how author Jeff Kinley could possibly tie his gruesome subplot into a wholesome, evangelical read.
Kinley accomplished the feat by alternating between a spine-tingling fictional account of a mounting z More...

I would not normally read a book about Zombies. Honestly, I stay clear of movies, books, or magazines with any type of horror topic. However, the Christian and Zombie combination of this book appealed to me. I was pleasantly surprised that I was sucked into the fictional Zombie story line and honestly hope to see more of those characters in the future. MY FAVORITE part of this book was the explanation of "Christianity" though. After every fictional chapter, there is a chapter that

This book, I thought, had promise. Boy was I wrong. This book is really two books in one. One is the actual story, following a guy named Ben in a world full of zombies. The second is the devotional book that uses the fictional story as a lesson about the state of our souls.
First, from a theological standpoint, Kinley is coming from a different place than I am. He assumes a lot in his theology that I just wouldn't say is so. You may find yourself starting from the same assumptions he do More...

In a culture that is now obsessed with stories of zombies, vampires, etc., it is important to understand how to interact with these stories from a Christian perspective. Kinley’s The Christian Zombie Killer’s Handbook attempts to do just that. Using the fiction of the zombie narrative, Kinley explores a Christian’s experience with sin. When I first noticed this book, this premise captivated me. I really looked forward to reading it. Each section has two parts – the first a fictional account of

Will post full review on December 15th. Here and on my blog matichuk.wordpress.com Suffice to say funny, insightful allegorical fiction. Not great literature but certainly on par with much popular comsumption (which I think was the point). I have more thoughts. Wait for it. Wait for it. hey we are in Advent, the season of waiting. Jesus is coming. Wait for it. Wait for it.

Although I am more of a fiction fan, I felt that this book would've been much better without the fiction parts. The nonfiction sections were wonderful - very reaffirming for me and would be great for new Believers and those who have questions about sin and God's grace.
