Zombie Church: Breathing Life Back into the Body of Christ ReviewI chose to review Zombie Church mainly out of curiosity. I wasn't familiar with the author, Tyler Edwards (the lead minister of Cornerstone Christian Church in Joplin, Missouri). I was somewhat skeptical about the premise of the book. This could either be done very well, or just be lame.
It was not lame.
I try not to mark or write in books anymore, in case someone else wants to read it. I don't want my marks to be a distraction. However, from the very first page, I found myself wanting to write. And mark. And highlight. Just about everything. I eventually did mark some, but realized I was basically just highlighting everything, so I stopped again. Practically everything Edwards wrote was like a zinger popping off of the page, For example:
Following God does not mean we live without consequences or that those consequences will always be good. When you take a stand for Jesus, you might lose your job, you might lose friends, you might alienate your family, and one day you might even be beaten or thrown in prison. You even might die. The faith hall of fame in Hebrews 11 tells the stories of men and women who were miraculously rescued from death. This is to set the standard for our faith, however, not the standard for God's response. (page 37)
I think that God is bored with the petty faith of our American churches. When is the last time we did something that would require God to act? When is the last time our churches stepped out in faith to do something so big, we would need God to be a part of it? I'm not saying we haven't done anything. We have accomplished some great things, but for a nation of "Christian" people and two hundred years of working at it, you would think we would have accomplished a lot more (page 151).
Zombie Church is convicting, and relevant, and good. It was also very interesting. The whole zombie angle was done well, and I can think of several friends that would be interested in this book for that fact alone. Edwards took truths and concepts that are widely known in some religious circles, and expanded them to include and engage a whole new subculture.
