Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore - February 4, 2003

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his 13th birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years - except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in this divisively hilarious, yet heartfelt work. Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from this tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more - except maybe 'Maggie', Mary of Magdala - and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascent without a fight.
