ChivalryThe Quest for a Personal Code of Honor in an Unjust World

Zach Hunter          Tyndale Momentum, 2013.

 2.5 / 5.0 

Drawing not so much from his interesting and varied experiences as from the teachings and works of others, this unique young author puts out a book that will be lost in the noise of Christian publishing.

This is an admittedly weak review of Zach Hunter's book. My electronic review copy of the book expired so I cannot access it or the notes I stored in my Nook. Today is the last day of the review period, so I was caught by surprise when the .epub offering went into self-destruct mode.

If I had known the author was a college student I would not have started the book. This fact will probably tell you where the review is headed. Most (not all) of the struggles Hunter highlights need not be slain by an ancient warrior code, but will lie down quietly in the next few years as he naturally matures. The author seems relatively insightful and selfless for a college-aged man, so his book might be a good influence on his peer group. As someone only half a generation ahead, I found it to be awkward reading.
