Yerusalem City is dying, and the king’s fear of invasion renders him blind to the starvation and plague ravaging his people. Only Yirmiyahu the prophet can see the truth; only he can hear God weeping behind her veil in the Temple. He knows the locked city gates will keep no one out — they will only keep the dead in.

"One of the previous reviewers said it best: "a zombie story for folks who would never dream of reading a zombie story." I'm one of those people who ever imagined reading something like this, but I'll admit I enjoyed it and it moved me. I'm not a horror reader and I don't care for zommbies, but I loved the Old Testament setting and especially the character development. It's a serious work and I read the whole thing in two days. For the squeamish, be warned. But it was a story about Virtus, a topic which appeals to me regardless of the genre."

" This was a completely new take on the zombie genre. This is a fictional expansion of a story about a zombie attack that was originally delated out of the Bible. The story is damn right scary and creepy, but was a fun read. The author does an interesting weave, where the storyline seems to sound like it is real scripture. I did get a little lost, because I have never read the Bible, but I think anyone with a basic understanding of the Bible should be fine. If you love zombies and enjoy scripture, you should eat this book right up. "
— Tarrin, 1/24/2014" Simple and short yet haunting and demanding of your attention. I read this almost entirely on a plane flight and quite enjoyed it. So much so that as soon as I arrived home I picked up the next in the series, Zombie Bible: What Our Eyes Have Witnessed. Excited to dive into that very soon. "
— Matthew, 1/22/2014" Well written, but too freaky for me ... and just not right. I skim read it. "
— Jennie, 1/14/2014" My first zombie book-and I liked it! "
— Jim, 12/19/2013" Very much like a bible. A little dry, but very creative and a decent read for those who love the undead. "
— Emily, 12/4/2013" A very interesting read...the new take on old stories has always been, to me, a dangerous track for an author to take, and to do so with a book such as the Bible...well that takes guts. I think the author did a great job and I look forward to reading the others in the series. "
— Terence, 9/3/2013" Realized afterwards that it was a biblical story retold with zombies. "
— Austin, 7/5/2013" I had really mixed feelings on this book. I can agree with many of the other reviewers on the quality of its thematic and storytelling elements. However, it may have just been a bit too long in tooth to get to the point, resulting in some degree of dilution. "
— James, 6/6/2013" Great take on the classic Zombie genre, a refreshing departure from the usual slashers and shufflers. Well worth reading. "
— Manda, 4/20/2013" This book was fantastic! I read the entire thing in about 2 hours. It's right up there with my favorite zombie reads. It's a quick read, and leaves the reader hanging on until the end. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I recommend it if you're a fan of the genre. "
— Chelsea, 4/15/2013" Awesome and daring premise, but almost too biblical at times. "
— Natali, 2/27/2013" Title to this Book ( imo) is really misleading. Cant figure out where the Bible comes into "
