About the author
Sam Shepherd
32 books3 followersSam Shepherd is one of millions of people who grew up with almost no knowledge of the Bible or the principles of God it contains. His parents were decent, law-abiding people like many others, but the Scriptures were never read at home, nor was church attendance a part of their lives. God and Jesus Christ were brought up only when used as curse-words; about the same at school as well.
After serving in the Navy, Sam attended college and lived in California throughout his 20’s until, at age 30, several circumstances came together at once, causing him to act on an acquaintance’s suggestion to buy a Bible and read it for the first time. In so doing he became captivated by the human history it contained, by the common sense of God’s principles, and by the mercy and obedience of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
Shortly thereafter Sam moved back to the Midwest where his roots and his relatives were located. Ever since returning 35 years ago he has been a student of the Scriptures, plus a student of being led and blessed, or taught and disciplined by God’s inner Spirit daily, as any sincere seeker of God experiences. All the while he worked in the fields of marketing or manufacturing until his recent semi-retirement.
Sam has one daughter, and refers to himself as simply an average citizen (adding that it puts him in the same social class as the original 12 Disciples and early Believers). He plans to spend the rest of his earthly life encouraging people everywhere to... “know the truth, and the truth will set you free”...in the midst of a world full of human voices and opinions.

Jesus. This was absolutely terrible. I mean one of the worst things I've made it all the way through reading.
First, it's about a zombie outbreak but there are nearly no zombies other than vaguely mentioned in the book. In almost every zombie story there is at least one intense zombie interaction or change, but not this one. They almost exclusively kill other survivors, which I hated.
Second, it's just constant, shallow dialogue back and forth and the characters get confused a lot. There's no exposition, little back story, and pretty much no character development.
Third, it's written by someone who has very clearly thought a lot about what they would do in the event of a zombie outbreak and has been reading some prepper literature. The author seems to know a lot about guns and practical survival but pretty much nothing about people, it seems.
And lastly, by the end the writing completely falls apart. Typos abound and wrong character names are used often. It was extremely frustrating to read. Not much effort seemed to be put into an actual story so I feel like the least that could have been done was proofread it.
I do not recommend this book at all. It's not even so bad it's good, it's just frustratingly bad and unfortunately for me once I start a book I'm committed.
