Christian Books...and Zombies

Note: Special thanks to James K.A. Smith and his twitter feed (@james_ka_smith) for inspiration and some awesome zombie book names.

In an attempt to increase Christian book sales, the following titles will be re-released this fall with one small addition.  Zombies.  Hordes of 'em.

Chicken Soup for the Zombie Soul – A delightful book of quips and stories to warm your undead heart. Includes all your zombie favorites from Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) to Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) to the guy who directed Thriller. Foreward by George Romero.

Purpose Driven Zombies – What on earth am I here for other than to eat brains, delicious brains. (@bobby_griffith)

Irresistible Zombie Revolution – Learning to live the simple life is a lot simpler when you have a single-minded thought process.

The Five Zombies You'll Meet in Heaven – Jesus is probably one of them, right? (co-blogger Jonathan Harrison)

Zombie Love Wins – It doesn't matter if there's a hell if we can love each other as the undead. (@likemindead)

Left Behind...With Zombies – I haven't read this series. It's totally possible that there are zombies in these books. I doubt Tim LaHaye reads this blog. (@MattCapps)

Blue Like Zombies – A man comes to terms with his faith, his faults, all amidst the backdrop of the zombie apocalypse. Since, it's based in the Pacific Northwest, I feel like this is vampire territory. The Cullen family needs to show these zombies what's up. (@tall_mp)

Mere Zombies – The most influential book for the thoughtful modern zombie. Also, pick up Zombie Letters, a fictional account of the letters between a zombie and his apprentice. (@MichaelRWear)

Sinners in the Hand of an Angry Zombie – This sermons sounds so much cooler with an Angry Zombie instead of an Angry God. Jonathan Edwards would have written some great horror movies. (@zhoag)

Zombie Discipleship – To be a good zombie comes at a price, a painful price, one's very life...because of the whole undead thing. (my friend Hannah Sigmon)

How (Not) to Speak of Zombies – When we reject the zombies, the zombies surround us and become us, but when we learn to accept the zombies as the other, then they no longer know where to find us.

Gospel of the Living Dead – This is an actual book. Looks cool. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1932792651/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
